“…That is, choosing the darkest color might be a proper mechanism to distinguish a dark object (a tree trunk) against a bright background (the sky), and thus to locate host plants throughout the landscape. This general pattern is however not valid for all bark and ambrosia beetles, as some species show species-specific preferences [16,[56][57][58]. We found, for example, that H. oleiperda and S. multistriatus were more attracted by purple/blue and grey/blue traps, respectively, than black traps.…”

“…Some bark and ambrosia beetle species attacking broadleaf trees were instead found to have a distinct preference for a specific color. Hypocryphalus mangiferae Stebbing and Xylosandrus crassiusculus (Motschulsky) were more attracted by green traps or green light emitting diodes over other trap or light colors, respectively [56][57][58]; Anisandrus dispar (Fabricius) and Cryphalus ruficollis Hopkins preferred green over purple traps [16].…”

Traps baited with attractive lures are increasingly used at entry-points and surrounding natural areas to intercept exotic wood-boring beetles accidentally introduced via international trade. Several trapping variables can affect the efficacy of this activity, including trap color. In this study, we tested whether species richness and abundance of jewel beetles (Buprestidae), bark and ambrosia beetles (Scolytinae), and their common predators (i.e., checkered beetles, Cleridae) can be modified using trap colors different to those currently used for surveillance of jewel beetles and bark and ambrosia beetles (i.e., green or black). We show that green and black traps are generally efficient, but also that many flower-visiting or dark-metallic colored jewel beetles and certain bark beetles are more attracted by other colors. In addition, we show that checkered beetles have color preferences similar to those of their Scolytinae preys, which limits using trap color to minimize their inadvertent removal. Overall, this study confirmed that understanding the color perception mechanisms in wood-boring beetles can lead to important improvements in trapping techniques and thereby increase the efficacy of surveillance programs.

“…Although the captures of I. typographus in activated traps were very low (only 5% of released insects were captured) they were significantly higher than those recorded in the control traps (no insect). Positive light-responses were also recorded in other scolytines where ethanol baited traps activated with green or UV light are more attractive to Xylosandrus crassiusculus than normal traps ( Gorzlancyk et al 2013 , 2014 ). Sitophilus zeamais , lastly, shows no significant difference between activated and control traps, with only two insects trapped by activated ones and no capture in control traps over a total of seven replicates (i.e., 350 insects).…”

Insects are one of the most successful groups of invasive species, and the number of new introductions has been increasing in the last decades. Insect invasions are affected mainly by the increase in international trade, as most of them travel across the world inside shipping containers. The effectiveness of sticky light traps was tested for the interception of alien pests inside the containers. The tested hypotheses were that light traps have a valuable broad-spectrum attraction and their trapping performance differs between empty or loaded containers. The optimal trap density in a container was also investigated. Trapping tests were conducted on four model species: Cadra cautella Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), Drosophila melanogaster Meigen (Diptera: Drosophilidae), Sitophilus zeamais, Motschulsky and Ips typographus L. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae). Insects were released within a standard shipping container, in either empty or loaded conditions, where sticky light traps were deployed for 15 h. Traps were tested with light on (activated) or off (control). Activated traps captured more Lepidoptera and Diptera than control ones, with no differences between empty and loaded container. Instead, Coleoptera were rarely caught, probably because of their ability to escape from traps. Results show that higher trap density in the container (from 1 to 8) increases the probability of insect capture. In conclusion, positive results on C. cautella and D. melanogaster suggest a possible application of sticky light traps against some small Lepidoptera and Diptera species flying in containers and infesting seeds, grains, and fruits, while traps need improvement for application against beetles.

“…For example, only two A. glabripennis females were caught in Italy [ 12 ], and no beetles were captured in England [ 13 ] during the eradication program. In the field, the trapping data showed that a number of beetles (Scolytinae) were captured by combining ethanol-baited traps with green (525 nm) and UV (395 nm) LED lights more than ethanol-baited traps [ 45 ]. In addition, we found that both females and males used visual and chemical cues to locate and recognize host plants in previous studies [ 16 , 18 ].…”

Light traps play a crucial role in monitoring pest populations. However, the phototactic behavior of adult Asian longhorned beetle (ALB) remains enigmatic. To provide a theoretical foundation to select the suitable light emitting diode (LED)-based light sources used for monitoring ALB, we compared the effect of exposure time on the phototactic response rates of adults at wavelengths of 365 nm, 420 nm, 435 nm, and 515 nm, and found that the phototactic rate increased gradually when the exposure time was prolonged, but there was no significant difference between different exposure times. We evaluated the effect of diel rhythm and found the highest phototactic rate at night (0:00–2:00) under 420 nm and 435 nm illumination (74–82%). Finally, we determined the phototactic behavioral response of adults to 14 different wavelengths and found both females and males showed a preference for violet wavelengths (420 nm and 435 nm). Furthermore, the effect of the light intensity experiments showed that there were no significant differences in the trapping rate between different light intensities at 120 min exposure time. Our findings demonstrate that ALB is a positively phototactic insect, showing that 420 nm and 435 nm are the most suitable wavelengths for attracting adults.
