“…Similarly, nymphs and adults of the Miridae Lygus hesperus Knight were attracted to the green color [ 3 ], and adults of the Pentatomidae Halyomorpha halys were attracted to green, orange, red, and yellow light. However, in this case, adult males were more attracted than any other life stage, and white light was the most attractive stimulus [ 36 ], while in our study only 3% of all the insects tested were attracted to this color. Specialist insects tend to detect wavelength related to their host, while generalist insects like L. zonatus respond to a broader wavelength spectrum [ 37 ].…”

The leaf-footed bug Leptoglossus zonatus (Dallas) (Heteroptera: Coreidae) is an important pest in the Americas. However, no preference of colors, sexual behavior nor aggregation pheromone has been reported, which can be used for detection, monitoring, and control purposes. In the laboratory we tested the attractiveness of white, violet, blue, green, yellow, and orange color to nymphs and adults (mated and unmated) and found that most adults and nymphs were attracted to and remained longer on blue and green colored cards than the other colors tested. We found that couples may remain in copula ≈185 min and mate ≈20 times in a 60 d period with a similar number of matings during the scotophase and the photophase. Sexual behavior consists of six patterns: grooming, abdomen movement, antenna movement, antennation, mounting, and mating. In a Y-tube olfactometer, 80 and 62.5% of the adults tested were attracted to a hexane-extract of the volatiles released by 40 males and 40 females, respectively. This is the first report of the biological evidence of an aggregation pheromone in this bug.

“…Interestingly, our results support laboratory results in [ 48 ], as it seems that the combination of UV and visible blue light provides higher attraction compared to UV alone. In another experiment, white, yellow, red, orange, and green source lights were attractive to H. halys [ 49 ]. Similarly, in our laboratory experiments, it seems that H. halys can detect and are attracted by either blue, green, or yellow light.…”

“…Modification of the trap design consisted of the addition of an electric fan. The light lamp attracted insects to the trap, but they tended to remain close to the light source [ 49 ] and were reluctant to enter inside the funnel bag [Authors personal observation]. The presence of the fan creates a suction vortex that possibly facilitated the movement of the stink bugs to the funnel net cage (similarly to [ 45 ]).…”

“…Other research would be needed to better understand the H. halys phototaxis behaviour in different environmental conditions. For example, the response at different light intensities [ 49 ], evaluation time (which could be related to diurnal and nocturnal circadian rhythm [ 60 ]), or physiological status [ 64 ]. Furthermore, phototaxis response of non-target insects should be properly evaluated in order to possibly reduce undesired biodiversity losses [ 50 ].…”

Capture strategies for the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), are challenging. Here we developed and evaluated a multimodal trap which combines visual and olfactory stimuli. Visual stimuli consisted of LEDs emitting UV-A and visible light. Olfactory stimuli were comprised of the synthetic aggregation pheromone and odours from trapped H. halys individuals. Stink bug attraction at different wavelengths was evaluated in laboratory two-choice bioassays, and different prototypes of the trap were tested in 2021 in natural, agricultural, and urban settings. Traps with a combination of UV-A and blue or green visible wavelengths provided higher H. halys attraction (up to ~8-fold) compared to traditional sticky or small pyramidal traps. The concurrent presence of synthetic pheromone and LED had a synergistic effect on H. halys positive phototaxis. Further development and implementation of the multimodal trap is discussed for prospective use in attract-and-kill or push–pull strategies.

“…An interesting group of studies have been reported with stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), such as Halyomorpha halys (Stål) and the green stink bugs Nezara spp. (Cambridge et al, 2017; Endo et al, 2022; Rice et al, 2017; Rondoni et al, 2022). Similar studies with several moth species, such as the cabbage looper Trichoplusia ni (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), the Indian meal moth (IMM), Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), and the tomato leaf miner Tuta absoluta (Meyrick) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), have used traps with lights plus sex pheromone/kairomone baits for mass trapping adults (Henneberry et al, 1967; Pezhman & Saeidi, 2018; Sambaraju & Phillips, 2008).…”

Studies of moth pests (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) of pome fruit in Washington State, USA, evaluated the addition of low‐intensity light‐emitting diode (LED) lights to traps baited with sex pheromone or kairomone lures. Species included codling moth (CM), Cydia pomonella (L.), oriental fruit moth (OFM), Grapholita molesta (Busck), oblique banded leafroller (OBLR), Choristoneura rosaceana (Harris), and eye‐spotted budmoth (ESBM), Spilonota ocellana (Denis and Schiffenmüller). Lures included (E,E)‐8,10‐dodecadien‐1‐ol (codlemone) plus (E,Z)‐2,4‐ethyl decadienoate (pear ester) and acetic acid (AA) (Combo) and a blend of pear ester, (E)‐4,8‐dimethyl‐1,3,7‐nonatriene, pyranoid linalool oxide, and AA (4K) for CM; a three‐component OFM sex pheromone ((E)‐8‐dodecen‐1‐yl‐acetate, (Z)‐8‐dodecen‐1‐yl acetate, and (Z)‐8‐dodecen‐1‐ol) plus codlemone and terpinyl acetate plus AA for OFM; and 2‐phenylethanol and AA for OBLR and ESBM. Traps baited with only LEDs were not attractive for any of these tortricids. The addition of a LED to lure‐baited traps increased male and female catches 2‐12‐fold across the four pest species. The proportional increase in CM catches with the LEDs was similar with both the Combo and 4K lures. Traps baited with the 4K lure caught significantly more CM with a UV LED than with either blue or green LEDs. The proportion of females caught in traps that were mated did not change with the use of the lights across species. Significantly more CM of both sexes were caught in the adhesive on the side of the liner nearest the LED. The addition of LEDs sometimes increased the by‐catch of minute insects, but liners' saturation was never a factor impacting targeted moth catch. Adding the LED light significantly increased the catch of ESBM in CM‐baited traps and CM in OFM‐baited traps, respectively. The development of inexpensive, dual‐modality traps that add a light stimulus to a kairomonal‐based lure may improve direct control of these key orchard pests via female removal.
