A lure based on the proportional composition of monoterpenes inD. micans larval frass and deployed in Theysohn slot traps was highly attractive toR. grandis released in the field. The relative response to frass and lure was consistent over a range of doses, and behavior close to traps baited with either lure or frass appeared to be similar. The monoterpenes, formulated with antioxidant, appear to be stable over several weeks when released from proprietary reservoir and wick "air fresheners." The lure may be of value in monitoring predator populations.
一种基于 D. micans 幼虫粪便中单萜比例的诱饵,在 Theysohn 插槽诱捕器中使用,对野外释放的 R. grandis 具有很强的吸引力。在一系列剂量下,对粪便和诱饵的相对反应是一致的,并且靠近诱饵或粪便的行为似乎相似。这些单萜化合物与抗氧化剂一起配制,从专有储液器和wick“空气清新剂”中释放出来时似乎在数周内保持稳定。这种诱饵可能对监测捕食者种群有价值。
