“…In contrast, no significant differences in the effectiveness of bucket‐type traps in comparison with delta and/or wing traps were found for cactus moth Cactoblastis cactorum (Berg) (Pyralidae) and Douglas‐fir pitch moth Synanthedon novaroensis (Edwards) (Sesiidae) (Rocchini et al ., 2003; Bloem et al ., 2005), whereas a wing trap (Pherocon 1c) was more effective than four other tested trap types, including delta trap and Unitrap, when tested for the Indian meal moth Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Pyralidae) (Mullen et al ., 1998). Other studies have shown delta traps to be more effective than other trap types (Lindgren et al ., 1984; Haynes et al ., 2007).…”

Dendrolimus pini can be a serious defoliator of pine trees in some European countries. The monitoring of this insect is important, but no single standardized capture technique exists for monitoring purposes. 2 A range of insect trap types (delta sticky, G-trap, Unitrap and cross-vane Unitrap), colours (green, red and white delta traps and yellow and green cross-vane Unitraps) and types of capture liquid (glycol and salt solutions) were tested to determine the most effective trap for D. pini monitoring. Trap colour (yellow and green) was also tested for beneficial Hymenoptera and Diptera. 3 The Unitraps and cross-vane Unitraps were the most effective trap types, but the latter trap that contained glycol solution was less effective than a dry trap. 4 Trap colour did not have any effect on the catches of D. pini, but yellow Unitraps captured more Diptera (Phoridae and Tachinidae) and Hymenoptera (Pteromalidae, Ceraphronidae and Braconidae) than green traps. In contrast, the egg parasitoid Telenomus tetratomus preferred green traps. Overall catches of beneficial insects were relatively low, except Phoridae. 5 The Unitraps are recommended for the efficient monitoring of D. pini unless other factors such as trap cost or remote monitoring locations justify the use of other traps.

“…In forest systems, Asaro et al (2004) reported greater numbers of Nantucket pine tip moth, Rhyacionia frustrana (Comstock), captured in wing than delta traps. More importantly with respect to clearwing moths, Rocchini et al (2003) reported no signiÞcant difference between wing and green Unitraps (Phero Tech, Delta, British Columbia, Canada) in capturing the Douglas-Þr pitch moth, Synanthedon novaroensis (Henry Edwards) (Sesiidae). He did not include delta traps in his trial.…”

Western poplar clearwing, Paranthrene robiniae (Hy. Edwards) (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae), is endemic in Pacific Northwest riparian habitats at low population densities. These moths have colonized commercial hybrid poplar (Populus spp.) plantings. Moth populations increased rapidly and became a major pest. Trap catches of male moths in mid-season surveys increased 190-fold from 95 in 2001 to >18,500 in 2002 across 6597 ha of poplars monitored. The outbreak of western poplar clearwings was widespread in 2002. Pheromone-baited traps placed one trap per 81.75 ha over 13,274 ha of commercial poplars captured >108,000 male moths in 2002. Damage to commercial poplars included girdling of saplings and burrows in limbs and trunks of trees. Repeated applications of chlorpyrifos failed to reduce the abundance of moths in 2002. Two management strategies over two separate plantations of approximately 6500 ha each were contrasted. Future control strategies recommend a halt to the use of contact insecticides that target adult moths. Short-term (3-5 yr) control should involve a pheromone-based mating disruption strategy followed eventually by selection of a clone that is less susceptible to P. robiniae attack.

“…Trap attributes, including type, colour and placement in the plant canopy, can affect moth capture in pheromone‐baited traps. For sesiids, the optimal trap colour and trap type varies by species (Yonce et al ., ; Stüber & Dickler, ; Rocchini et al ., ; Suckling et al ., ; Brown et al ., ; Karalius & Buda, ; Weihman & Liburd, ; Roubos & Liburd, ; Cottrell et al ., ). Captures of beneficial and nontarget insects (i.e.…”

1 (E ,Z )-3,13-Octadecadienal (E 3,Z 13-18:Ald) was recently identified as a sex pheromone component of the raspberry crown borer Pennisetia marginata (Harris) (Lepidoptera: Sesiidae). Although unstable, this pheromone may have utility for monitoring the seasonal abundance and flight phenology of adult P. marginata, as well as for developing control tactics, such as disorienting mate-seeking males. Experiments conducted in raspberry and blackberry crops tested the effect of lure and trap attributes on captures of male P. marginata. 2 Increasing lure loads (10, 100 or 1000 μg) of E 3,Z 13-18:Ald significantly increased trap captures. 3 Freshly prepared lures were significantly more attractive than lures aged for 2-10 days at room temperature. 4 White wing traps and white delta traps were more effective than green delta or green bucket traps. 5 Trap height in the crop canopy had no effect on the capture of males. 6 When sex pheromone components of three other sesiid moth species were added to E 3,Z 13-18:Ald, the attraction of male P. marginata was reduced and, thus, these components were identified as pheromone antagonists. 7 Pheromone-based mass trapping with 25 wing traps per hectare reduced captures of males in traps baited with a low-dose (10 μg) pheromone lure by 67-87% in 2011.
