Abstract
More male cabbage looper moths, Trichoplusia ni (Hübner), were caught in black-light traps baited with virgin female cabbage looper moths than in similar unbaited traps. More males were caught also in light traps operated 20 feet from baited traps than were caught in similar unbaited traps situated at least 1 mile apart and I mile from the baited traps. In laboratory studies, more male cabbage looper moths responded to black-light when female sex pheromone extracts were introduced than responded to the sex pheromone or to black-light alone.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
