“…In addition, synergetic response has been observed in quite a few insect groups (Raguso and Willis 2002;Reddy and Guerrero 2004). Hidaka (1972) reported the necessity of visual stimuli in addition to pheromones to attract Hyphantria cunea (Drury) (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) males, and Carlton and Cardé (1990) noticed that Lymantria dispar (L.) (Lepidoptera: Lymantridae) males also used visual cues after landing on females. More recently, Fukaya et al (2006) demonstrated the importance of visual stimulus (black and gray sources) in combination with the female sex pheromone anthranilic acid for mate location in the black chafer, Holotrichia loochooana loochooana (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae).…”

Abstract:The banana root borer Cosmopolites sordidus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) is native to Malaysia and Indonesia but is found in nearly all banana-growing areas of the world. Studies were conducted to determine the pheromone trap efficacy, effect of shade on trap catches and to monitor the population of C. sordidus using pheromones in Guam. In Guam, pheromone traps were used to monitor the population level of C. sordidus. Before monitoring began, two basic studies were carried out, which established that pheromone-baited ramp traps positioned in the shade of the banana crop canopy caught significantly more adults than those placed in sunlight and that ramp traps baited with pheromone lures caught significantly more adults than did identical traps without pheromone lures. Ramp traps baited with pheromone lures were set up at each of 10 locations throughout the island in November 2005. Weekly counts were made of the borers caught by the pheromone traps.The data indicated higher population levels (>10 per week) in the northern region and low (<5 per week) to medium level (5-10 week) populations in the southern part of the island. These differences among sites were highly significant. Linear and quadratic effects of rainfall on the number of borers captured were statistically significant, but according to quadratic regression models, the significance was due to differences at just one site.

“…On the other hand, many moths rely on airborne sex pheromone to locate mates, though they adjust their flight speed and direction depending on visual feedback during upwind flight (optomotor anemotaxis, Greenfield, 2002). In some moths, visual stimulus has been found to emphasize to locate mates in the vicinity of the pheromone source (Hidaka, 1972;Charlton and Cardé, 1990). However, it is yet unclear how the visual cue functions in mate location in association with olfactory cues in other species, especially in beetles.…”

Females of the black chafer Holotrichia loochooana loochooana (Sawada) (Coleoptera: Scarabaeidae) release anthranilic acid, which functions as sex attractant pheromone for males and aggregation pheromone for females. When a white lure treated with anthranilic acid was placed next to an untreated black lure in the field, males were observed to make pinpoint landings significantly more frequently on the latter. When the distance between the two lures was increased from 0 to 20 cm, frequency of pinpoint landing onto the untreated black lures significantly decreased while that onto the treated white lures slightly increased. When the lures were further separated to 2.5-m intervals, males approached only to the treated lures regardless of the color but significantly more frequently landed on the black ones than on the white. These observations demonstrated that males locate and land on a female by visual cues after reaching the vicinity by olfaction.

“…Recognition at close range and mating are evoked by contact cues such as wing tip touching. Thus, although location of the female over long distances is mediated by pheromone, additional visual and contact stimuli are critical to successful reproduction (Charlton and Carde 1990).…”
