To improve the procedures for estimating the abundance of the rice bug, Leptocorisa chinensis Dallas (Heteroptera: Alydidae), field monitoring using traps baited with synthetic attractant was conducted in Tsukuba, central Japan from 2002 to 2006. A mixture of (E)-2-octenyl acetate and 1-octanol, in a ratio of 5 : 1 and incorporated into a plastic pellet, was used as bait on sticky boards and placed at study sites from early June to the end of October. The attractantbaited traps were able to detect the starting of the migration period of the overwintered generation and the population increase of the first generation. The number of trapped insects decreased rapidly after early September, while the number of insects in second generation increased in the grassy weeds field. The decreased temperatures and shorter daylength of autumn (which will have induced reproductive diapause) may have affected the attractiveness of the baited traps. The ratio of males to all captured L. chinensis was 0.88-0.96. Most captured adults had no food in their stomachs, and most males were sexually mature. These results indicate that the males trapped had actively moved for two possible reasons: to search for food and/or to search for females. Based on comparisons between the results of baited trap monitoring and sweep-net surveys, it was considered that immigrant period and density of L. chinenis in the poaceous plants fields depend on the density of dispersal individuals and the heading period of the plants.

“…Trigonotylus caelestialium and S. rubrovittatus females release sex attractants to attract males [25]- [28]. However, it remains unclear how attractants influence the behavior of bugs in narrow cages; thus, the males and females are separated in the selection test to avoid any interaction between sexes.…”

Food Preference of Pecky Rice Bugs Is Influenced by Experience

This study investigated whether prior experience influences the plant food preference of Trigonotylus caelestialium and Stenotus rubrovittatus which cause pecky rice grain, by using rice plants and 2 poaceous weeds. In a choice experiment between Digitaria ciliaris and the rice plants, both T. caelestialium and S. rubrovittatus adults that were reared on D. ciliaris plants showed significant initial preference for D. ciliaris over rice. In a choice experiment between Echinochloa crus-galli var. aristata and rice plants, T. caelestialium adults reared on E. crus-galli var. aristata strongly preferred E. crus-galli var. aristata over rice throughout the experiment. However, at and after 24 h, T. caelestialium adults reared on rice showed no food preference, although T. caelestialium initially preferred E. crus-galli var. aristata. In contrast, S. rubrovittatus adults reared on rice showed no preference between E. crus-galli var. aristata and rice. However, S. rubrovittatus reared on E. crus-galli var. aristata initially preferred E. crus-galli var. aristata to rice, with this preference waning with time. The same results were obtained for both sexes. Although the effect of experience differed with food source and the species of mirid bug, prior experience initially had a noticeable effect, which disappeared with time (1 d).

“…The sex pheromone of S. rubrovittatus females consists of three principal components; hexyl butyrate, (E)-hex-2-en-1-yl butyrate, and (E)-4-oxohex-2-enal (Yasuda et al, 2008). To collect the compounds released by individual females, they were separately introduced into side-armed glass tubes sealed with black screw caps fitted with Teflon®-faced rubber liners (see Oku & Yasuda, 2010).…”

Do male-derived substances affect female mating receptivity and release of sex pheromone by females of the sorghum plant bug Stenotus rubrovittatus (Hemiptera: Miridae)?

Abstract. In insects, male-derived substances transferred during copulation often alter female physiology. Thus these substances may affect female behaviour, including mating receptivity and release of sex pheromone. In the sorghum plant bug Stenotus rubrovittatus (Matsumura) (Hemiptera: Miridae), males transfer a spermatophore into the bursa copulatrix of females during copulation. Mated females of S. rubrovittatus do not mate again for at least 3 days and release lower amounts of sex pheromone than virgin females. A previous study indicates that females that receive a spermatophore are less likely to be sexually receptive to males. Therefore, we tested whether an extract of the male reproductive organ affected female mating receptivity and whether this extract and spermatophores per se affected the release of sex pheromone by females. The mating receptivity of virgin females injected with an extract of male reproductive organs was significantly lower than that of control females injected with distilled water, but not significantly different from that of females injected with an extract of male thorax (the negative control). The amount of sex pheromone released by females, however, did not differ among the different treatments. When the interval between two subsequent copulations of males is less than 1 h, males do not transfer a spermatophore during the second copulation. It is thus possible to produce artificially mated females with and without a spermatophore. However, the amount of sex pheromone released by mated females with and without a spermatophore did not differ. These results indicate that male-derived substances do not suppress release of sex pheromone by female S. rubrovittatus but, they may reduce their mating receptivity.
