(Z)-11-hexadecenal Attracts MaleHecatera dysodea(Denis and Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

Early Spring Moths (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) Captured in Traps Baited with (Z)-11-Hexadecenal

“…(Z)-11-hexadecenal also is a part of a sex attractant for the wheat head armyworm, Dargida (Faronta) diffusa (Walker) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (Underhill et al 1977). Efforts to detect and monitor wheat head armyworm moths in wheat fields in eastern Washington State, USA, revealed that Z11-16ALD attracts other moth species that occur in the same habitat (Landolt & Roberts 2012;Landolt et al 2017). Incidental to these published studies were captures of small numbers of additional moth species early in the spring.…”
