Stable flies, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.) (Diptera: Muscidae), are a blood-feeding pest of cattle worldwide. A new trapping material, Coroplast, was compared with Alsynite sticky traps based on the number, sex, and parity of stable flies caught. Coroplast sticky traps caught more stable flies than Alsynite (trap catches of 2384 versus 753 on 15 traps), with this increase attributed to catching more males (1531 versus 532) and nulliparous females (817 versus 175); parous catches were similar (36 versus 46). The spectral reflectance of Alsynite and Coroplast sticky traps is reported. We also examine Coroplast traps in detail with respect to trap color. Although clean sheets of Alsynite had a higher solar reflectance than Coroplast (90 versus 82% at 450 nm), Coroplast with debris had a higher reflectance than debris-covered Alsynite (62 versus 30% at 450 nm). White Coroplast was most effective, followed by closely by gray. Black and blue were the least effective trapping colors.
厩螫蝇,即刺螫家蝇(双翅目:蝇科),是一种在全球范围内以牛为食的吸血害虫。基于捕获的厩螫蝇数量、性别和胎次,将一种新型诱捕材料科洛普拉斯(Coroplast)与阿尔西尼特(Alsynite)粘性诱捕器进行了比较。科洛普拉斯粘性诱捕器捕获的厩螫蝇比阿尔西尼特诱捕器更多(15个诱捕器捕获的数量分别为2384只和753只),这种增加归因于捕获了更多的雄性(分别为1531只和532只)和未产卵的雌性(分别为817只和175只);已产卵的捕获数量相似(分别为36只和46只)。报告了阿尔西尼特和科洛普拉斯粘性诱捕器的光谱反射率。我们还详细研究了科洛普拉斯诱捕器的颜色。尽管干净的阿尔西尼特板材比科洛普拉斯具有更高的太阳反射率(在450纳米处分别为90%和82%),但有碎屑的科洛普拉斯比有碎屑覆盖的阿尔西尼特具有更高的反射率(在450纳米处分别为62%和30%)。白色科洛普拉斯最有效,其次是灰色。黑色和蓝色是最无效的诱捕颜色。
