“…Methyl eugenol attracts Chrysopa spp. to traps (Suda & Cunningham, 1970;Umeya & Hirao, 1975). Methyl salicylate was found to attract green lacewings in a test originally aimed at pear psylla predators (Molleman et al, 1997), in particular Chrysopa nigricornis Burmeister (James, 2003).…”

“…The relatively few compounds that are attractants include methyl eugenol (Suda & Cunningham, 1970;Umeya & Hirao, 1975), methyl salicylate (Molleman et al, 1997;James, 2003), caryophyllene (Flint et al, 1979), 2-phenylethanol (Zhu et al, 1999) and some that are chemically undefined (McEwen et al, 1994;Harrison & McEwen, 1998). In addition in a laboratory olfactometer bioassay, tethered female green lacewings spent ca 70% of the total time flying towards reaction mixtures thought to produce indole acetaldehyde (van Emden & Hagen, 1976).…”

Abstract. At five sites in Hungary and Italy, traps baited with phenylacetaldehyde caught significantly higher numbers (10 to 100 times more) of green lacewings than unbaited traps, which demonstrates that this compound is an attractant. Traps with three bait dispensers usually caught more than those with one dispenser, but the difference was significant only at two out of five test sites. There was no difference in the numbers caught by sticky delta and funnel traps baited with phenylacetaldehyde. However, funnel traps could be adapted to catch living green lacewings. The vast majority of the specimens belonged to the Chrysoperla carnea species complex. Ch. carnea sensu lato dominated the catches at all sites. At some sites 3-11% of the insects caught were Ch. lucasina Lacroix. Phenylacetaldehyde-baited traps were attractive to both sexes, but generally more females were caught than males. Funnel traps baited with three dispensers of phenylacetaldehyde caught green lacewing adults throughout the season in Hungary.

“…Several other natural products are reportedly attractive to lacewings, among which methyl eugenol attracts both Chrysopa basalis Walker (Suda and Cunningham 1970) and Ankylopteryx exquisite (Nakahara) (Pai et al 2004). Dihydronepetalactol isomers (neomatatabiol and isomatatabiol) isolated from a Japanese vine (Actinidia polygama Miq) were attractive to males of C. septempunctata and Chrysopa japana Okomoto (Hyeon et al 1968;Sakan et al 1970).…”

“…Green lacewings, especially Chrysopa and Chrysoperla spp., are attracted to various natural products, including host-plant (Flint et al 1979;Hooper et al 2002;Pai et al 2004;Suda and Cunningham 1970;Zhu et al 1999 and herbivore-induced volatiles such as methyl salicylate (James 2003a(James ,b, 2006James and Price 2004), as well as sex pheromone components of aphids [i.e., (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactol and (4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone] (Boo et al 1998(Boo et al , 2003Hooper et al 2002).

The lacewing Chrysopa septempunctata Wesmael is an important, common predator of several insects in China, Japan, Russia, and many parts of Europe. Our field trapping experiments in northeast China showed that males of this green lacewing are strongly attracted to the lacewing pheromone of Chrysopa oculata Say, (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial. The induced plant volatile, methyl salicylate, was unattractive to C. septempunctata by itself at the concentration tested, but synergistic when combined with iridodial where the lacewing population was high. (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)-Nepetalactol and (4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone (aphid sex pheromone components) caught significantly more males of C. septempunctata than did blank control traps, but were inferior to iridodial dispensers, which remained strongly attractive to C. septempunctata males for at least 2.5 months. These results indicate that (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial is a powerful attractant for C. septempunctata, and may have great potential for enhanced biological control of garden, agricultural, and forest insect pests.

“…A prime example of pharmacophagy are male Bactrocera fruit flies (Tephritidae) that feed on plants to obtain their pheromone precursor, methyl eugenol (Tan & Nishida, 2012). Indeed, males of certain lacewings (i.e., Ankylopteryx exquisite (Nakahara) (Pai et al, 2004), and Mallada basalis (Walker) (Oswald, 2015;Suda & Cunningham, 1970)) are also powerfully attracted to methyl eugenol for unknown reasons (Tan & Nishida, 2012). In addition, certain chrysomelid beetle larvae discharge iridoid allomones that may be synthesized de novo, which is considered ancestral, or produced via the more evolutionarily advanced mechanism, sequestration from plants ( Kunert et al, 2008).…”

Green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are voracious predators of aphids and other small, soft-bodied insects and mites. Earlier, we identified (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial from wild males of the goldeneyed lacewing, Chrysopa oculata Say, which is released from thousands of microscopic dermal glands on the abdominal sterna. Iridodial-baited traps attract C. oculata and other Chrysopa spp. males into traps, while females come to the vicinity of, but do not usually enter traps. Despite their healthy appearance and normal fertility, laboratory-reared C. oculata males do not produce iridodial. Surprisingly, goldeneyed lacewing males caught alive in iridodial-baited traps attempt to eat the lure and, in Asia, males of other Chrysopa species reportedly eat the native plant, Actinidia polygama (Siebold & Zucc.) Maxim. (Actinidiaceae) to obtain the monoterpenoid, neomatatabiol. These observations suggest that Chrysopa males must sequester exogenous natural iridoids in order to produce iridodial; we investigated this phenomenon in laboratory feeding studies. Lacewing adult males fed various monoterpenes reduced carbonyls to alcohols and saturated double bonds, but did not convert these compounds to iridodial. Only males fed the common aphid sex pheromone component, (1R,4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactol, produced (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial. Furthermore, although C. oculata males fed the second common aphid sex pheromone component, (4aS,7S,7aR)-nepetalactone, did not produce iridodial, they did convert ∼75% of this compound to the corresponding dihydronepetalactone, and wild C. oculata males collected in early spring contained traces of this dihydronepetalactone. These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that Chrysopa males feed on oviparae (the late-season pheromone producing stage of aphids) to obtain nepetalactol as a precursor to iridodial. In the spring, however, wild C. oculata males produce less iridodial than do males collected later in the season. Therefore, we further hypothesize that Asian Chrysopa eat A. polygama to obtain iridoid precursors in order to make their pheromone, and that other iridoid-producing plants elsewhere in the world must be similarly usurped by male Chrysopa species to sequester pheromone precursors.
