Linalool from the metathoracic scent gland of the cotton stainer Dysdercus intermedius distant (heteroptera: pyrrhocoridae)

Toxic properties of d-limonene in insects and the earthworm Eisenia fetida

“…Llnalool was found to be a major component of the scent secreted by the metathoraclc gland of another hemlpteran, the cotton stalner, Dysdercus intermedins (Everton et al 1979), and hemlpterans In the Rhopalldae family have been found to release a-plnene, j8-plnene, myrcene, llmonene, and thymol from the metathoraclc and dorsal abdominal glands (Aldrich et al 1979). Goleopterans may also utilize monoterpenolds in defense secretions; larvae of the willow leaf beetle, Plagiodera versicolora, secrete methylcyclopentanold monoterpenolds to deter feeding by conspeclflc adults and other willow herbivores (Raupp et al 1986).…”
