Attraction of Chrysoperla Spp. To Chemical Lures

T.N., Shaver, J.F. Esquivel and J.D. Lopez, Jr.


 
ABSTRACT

Mixtures of chemicals identified from plants attractive to noctuid insects are attractive to Chrysoperla spp. adults as evidenced by captures in traps. Chrysoperla carnea females were predominately captured, although some C. carnea males were captured. Chrysoperla rufilabris males and females were captured to a lesser extent. Comparison of the relative abundance of C. carnea and C. rufilabris in the field by sweep net collections, indicates that these chemical baits are more attractive to C. carnea females than to C. carnea males or C. rufilabris males and females.
