“…However, in the case of the raspberry cane midge, Resseliella theobaldi, air entrainment from 200 females yielded 1.5 μg of pheromone (i.e., 7.5 ng per female; Hall et al, 2009). Analysis by coupled gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) has proved effective at detecting pheromone components in collections from female Cecidomyiidae, with the male antenna capable of detecting components below a GC threshold of detection (Hillbur et al, 1999;Gries et al, 2002;Choi et al, 2004). Specially designed Plexiglas holders have been used for the antennal preparation (Hillbur et al, 2001(Hillbur et al, , 2005Andersson et al, 2009a), while Gries et al (2002) used a severed head and antenna suspended between two glass electrodes.…”
