Jujube gall midge (Dasineura jujubifolia Jiao & Bu) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) is an important pest in jujube (Ziziphus jujuba Mill.) orchards in Aksu, Xinjiang, China. Yellow sticky traps are the main device used for monitoring jujube gall midge adults, but their efficacy is low. Here, we compared the effectiveness of yellow sticky traps with water pan traps (are commonly used for trapping Diptera insects) to monitor jujube gall midge adults. Yellow sticky traps and pan traps were deployed for 2 consecutive years in jujube orchards in Aksu, Xinjiang, China. The midge's population dynamics as revealed by these 2 trap types were consistent, but the effectiveness of pan traps was about 5 times greater than that of the yellow sticky traps. In addition, pan traps captured fewer non-target species (e.g., parasitic wasps, lacewings, and lady beetles) than yellow sticky traps. Our study suggests that pan trap is an effective device to monitor jujube gall midge adults with minimal harm to natural enemies.
枣树瘿蚊（Dasineura jujubifolia Jiao & Bu）（双翅目：瘿蚊科）是中国新疆阿克苏枣树园中的一种重要害虫。黄色粘虫板是监测枣树瘿蚊成虫的主要装置，但效果不佳。在这里，我们比较了黄色粘虫板和水盘诱捕器（常用于诱捕双翅目昆虫）监测枣树瘿蚊成虫的效果。黄色粘虫板和水盘诱捕器在新疆阿克苏的枣园中连续使用了 2 年。这两种诱捕器监测到的瘿蚊种群动态一致，但水盘诱捕器的效果约是黄色粘虫板的 5 倍。此外，水盘诱捕器捕获的非目标物种（如寄生蜂、草蛉和瓢虫）比黄色粘虫板少。我们的研究表明，水盘诱捕器是监测枣树瘿蚊成虫的有效装置，对天敌的伤害最小。
