“…The visible (blue, green, yellow, red, and white) LEDs were approximately 1.2 to 3.4 times more attractive to the T. castaneum adults than the BLB. In previous studies, Jeon et al (2012) suggest that blue (84.3 %) LED was the most attractive to Sitophilus oryzae (L.), the rice weevil, followed by green (74.3 %), red (64.3 %), and UV (63.3 %) LEDs. Moreover, green and the blue LEDs were 1.3 and 1.5 times more attractive than the BLB, respectively.…”

The phototactic behavioral responses of Tribolium castaneum adults to light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of seven different wavelengths were determined under various conditions (light exposure times, light sources, and luminance intensities) and compared with those of a black light bulb (BLB) under laboratory conditions. Based on the attractive rate (%) of T. castaneum adults under optimal conditions (50 lx and an 48 h exposure time) in the dark, red LED (625±10 nm) exhibited the highest potential attractive rate (97.8 %), followed by yellow (590±5 nm, 68.9 %), green (520±5 nm, 55.6 %), infrared (IR) (730 nm, 54.4 %), white (450−620 nm, 41.1 %), blue (470±10 nm, 34.4 %), and ultraviolet (UV) (365 nm, 0.06 %) LEDs. In comparison, red LED (97.8 %) was approximately 3.4 times more attractive to T. castaneum adults than the BLB (28.9 %). These results indicate that a red LED trap could be useful to control T. castaneum adults.

“…Park et al (2015) studied the response of the maize weevil, Sitophilus zeamais (Motshulsky), to five LEDs using a Y-maze chamber and observed that these beetles were more attracted to red (625 nm) followed by yellow (590 nm) and infrared (730 nm). In similar experiments, Jeon et al (2012) found that the rice weevil were more attracted to blue (450 nm) followed by green (520 nm), red (660 nm), UV (365 nm), and infrared (730 nm). Sambaraju and Phillips (2008) studied the response of the Indian meal moth when given a choice between dark areas or areas with UV (395 nm), green (525 nm), or white (450-700 nm) lights; insects preferred the illuminated areas and UV elicited the strongest response.…”

Evaluation of light attraction for the stored-product psocid, Liposcelis bostrychophila

et al. 2015

The psocid, Liposcelis bostrychophila Badonnel (Psocoptera: Liposcelididae), is the most widespread psocid pest of stored products. Because L. bostrychophila has developed resistance to several chemical insecticides, it is important to investigate other integrated pest management (IPM) approaches, and a critical part of IPM programs is an effective monitoring program, Monitoring tools for psocids are limited, and few studies have been conducted on monitoring of psocids, with none on the attraction of lights for psocids. Therefore, we studied the response of L. bostrychophila adults to eight wavelengths of light-emitting diodes (LED) in paired-choice pitfall test. Among the LEDs evaluated, the strongest response by L. bostrychophila adults was to 351 nm UV. When LEDs were tested against brewer's yeast (the most preferred attractant for L. bostrychophila among more than 20 potential attractants found in previous studies), the 351 nm UV wavelength was the only light that attracted more psocids than brewer's yeast. These results suggest that the use of LEDs might be useful in psocid-monitoring programs for L. bostrychophila and other psocid species. Keywords Liposcelis bostrychophila Á Psocoptera: Liposcelididae Á Stored products Á Grains Á Monitoring Á Light preferences Á Behavior Key message • Psocids are stored-product pests of increasing concern worldwide, and monitoring tools are limited. For the first time, the use of Light-Emitting Diodes (LED) for attraction of the main psocid species, Liposcelis bostrychophila, was explored. • Eight LEDs in combination with brewer's yeast (attractant highly preferred by L. bostrychophila) and/ or blank controls were tested in choice tests. • The LED emitting 351 nm UV light elicited the strongest response by L. bostrychophila adults. This response was even stronger than for brewer's yeast.

“…A light‐emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that produces highly monochromatic light with little heat, it has a long lifetime, low energy consumption, and a high degree of safety (Duehl et al., ; Cho & Lee, ; Jeon et al., ). The solid state physics of LEDs are an advantage for controlling pest behavior and more efficient in practical application.…”

The oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis Hendel (Diptera: Tephritidae), is an invasive pest of orchards around the world, particularly in Asian countries such as China. Light traps offer a potential means for pest monitoring and management. This study aimed to evaluate the sensitivity of the fly to light and investigate the impact of monochromatic light in the sensitivity spectrum on B. dorsalis. Six light wavelengths in LEDs – green (522 nm), yellow (596 nm), blue (450 nm), red (633 nm), purple (440 nm), and white (compound light) – were adapted to test responses of 5‐, 10‐, and 20‐day‐old B. dorsalis adults kept in laboratory conditions. We also tested the effects of green and red lights on pupal development and adults’ life activities. The results indicated a phototaxis preference rank in B. dorsalis adults to monochromatic LEDs with, in decreasing order, green, yellow, purple, blue, and red. Moreover, positive phototaxis significantly increased with age. Male adults are more sensitive than female adults to test lights, mainly at the age of 10 and 20 days. Emergence rates of pupae exposed to 12 and 24 h green light daily were 42 and 67%, respectively, whereas controls held in red light emerged at 33 and 37%, respectively. Furthermore, body weight, female fecundity, and mortality of B. dorsalis in night‐time exposure of green light (from 21:00 to 09:00 hours; during daytime flies were illuminated by white LED light) were significantly higher than in red‐light test groups and dark controls. In conclusion, B. dorsalis displayed preference toward green light, and fly age and gender seemed to significantly impact the phototactic behavior. Green LED light exposure during nighttime remarkably improved the emergence rates of B. dorsalis, and it enhanced growth, development, and ovipositing peak period, but decreased adult lifespan. This research lays a foundation for the development of new trap models, e.g., with green sticky cards or green light, for monitoring and control of B. dorsalis in the field.
