Captures of clearwing moths (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae) with various octadecadienyl acetates and alcohols in central Georgia during 1983-1985
Environmental Entomology 18 (2), 216-222
Abstract: Thirteen species from six genera in the family Sesiidae were collected during 1983-1985 in traps baited with single isomers or blends of 2,13 and 3,13 octadecadienyl acetates and alcohols. (E,Z)-2,13 octadecadienyl acetate was shown to be highly attractive to Vitacea polistiformis (Harris), Paranthrene asilipennis (Boisduval), P. simulans (Grote), and Synanthedon acerrubri (Engelhardt). Captures of three species were improved by the addition of 2,13 isomers to 3,13 isomers, and the first seasonal plots based on captures in pheromone traps are shown for three species.
