Attraction of Amphion Floridensis (Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) to Bombykal, (E, Z)-10,12-Hexadecadienal
Abstract
Males of Amphion floridensis Clark were captured in cone traps baited with (E,Z)-10,12-hexadecadienal (bombykal). Greatest trap captures were obtained with the highest dose tested, 1 mg per septum. Male A. floridensis were attracted and captured in bombykal-baited traps throughout much of the day with peak activity 4.5 to 8.5 hr into the natural 12-hr photophase. Attracted males repeatedly contacted bombykal-treated septa but made no copulatory attempts.Downloads
