Abstract | ||||
Yellow and white sticky traps significantly attracted more Lampides boeticus (L.) adults (males and females) than any of the others tested colors (in the following orders, red , blue and green). On the other hand, catches in the color sticky trap significantly influence by the trap design where the influence of color is less in Delta traps. However, most insect were caught by the vertical plate traps. The male courtship pheromone of long tailed blue butterfly, L. boeticus females was extracted by immersing the abdomen of virgin female in five different solvents (Hexane, diethyl ether, chloroform. ethanol and acetone) .Bioassay in the field was carried out by using the vertical plate yellow sticky traps baited with pheromone extraction in the different solvent. Diethyl ether showed to be the best solvent for pheromone extraction. The residual effectiveness of pheromone extracts was lost after two days. | ||||
