Noctuid moths

Even more extraordinary, the authors presented evidence that the attractant mixture produced may vary with time both within and between individuals, suggesting that the spiders have some degree of control over the composition of the blend. This would explain why at least 19 different moth species are captured by M. cornigera, even when compounds that attract one species are known to be inhibitory to a second prey species. For example, the noctuid moth Peridroma saucia is attracted to blends of 16 and 18, but attraction is inhibited by 17. This type of situation is well documented with lepidopteran sex pheromones and is one of the mechanisms that allows related species to share some pheromone components while still maintaining species-specific attractant blends (Roelofs, 1995). Thus, M. cornigera must... [Pg.137]

Tertiary pheromonal blends have been identified in two noctuid moths. The red bollworm, Diparopsis castanea, emits dodecyl acetate, (E)-9-dodecenyl acetate, 11-dodecenyl acetate, and (E)-9,ll-dodecadienyl acetate as a sex pheromone, whereas Spodoptera littoral is utilizes a blend made up of tetradecyl acetate, (E)-9-tetradecenyl acetate, (E)-ll-tetradecenyl acetate, and (Z,E)-9,ll-tetradecadieny1 acetate (89). For both species, the conjugated dienes are the most potent olfactory stimulants. [Pg.216]

Male moths and butterflies have proven to be an especially rich source of interesting natural products. The sex pheromone produced in the wing glands of the lesser waxmoth, Achroia grisella, is composed of n-undecanal and (Zj-ll-octadecenal (98), whereas that of the greater waxmoth also contains n-undecanal (.99) but is dominated by n-nonanal (100). The scent brushes of male noctuid moths produce large amounts of aromatic compounds and terpenes which are believed to function as aphrodisiacs (101). Benzaldehyde, 2-phenyl ethanol, benzyl alcohol, 6-methyl-5-hepten-2-one, pinocarvone, and isobutyric acid have been identified in the secretions of different noctuid species (102), and it appears that these pheromones may possess some chemotaxonomic value. [Pg.217]

These initial studies were performed on isolated species from families which have distinct types of components. Systematic studies on biosynthesis by phylogenically related insects were not undertaken until the works by Roelofs and Brown (11) and Steck et al. (12) outlined the analogies in pheromones used by Tortricidae and Noctuidae respectively. The significant feature of these pheromones is that most of the Tortricinae use 14-carbon compounds with a double bond at the 11 position whereas the majority of identified compounds from noctuid moths have a double bond between the 5th and 6th carbons from the terminal methyl group (ie. 7-dodecenyl, 9-tetradecenyl, ll-hexadecenyl). [Pg.326]

Members of the Heliothis genus of noctuid moths have been the subjects of considerable study in our laboratory over the past 10 years not only because of their economic importance, but also because of the ability to hybridize two of the species, H. subflexa and H. virescens. Since members of this genus use variations of the same types of compounds for pheromone communication a commonality in the biosynthetic capability of these insects seems indicated (Table I). [Pg.328]

Tachinids parasitize winter moth caterpillars, codling moth caterpillars, noctuid moths, small ermine moths, beetle larvae. [Pg.118]

Larvae the larvae of the noctuid moths have the same number of thoracic legs and abdominal feet as the tortrix caterpillars, but their head is rounded and the mouth parts point downwards. When the caterpillar is disturbed it curls up in a C shape. [Pg.165]

Noctuid moths are polyphagous, i.e. they also develop in many different types of broad-leaved trees (oak, lime, poplar, etc.), from which they can fly into the orchard in spring. [Pg.165]

CONTROL. Noctuid moths often occur in concentrations around a focal point, and severe damage may be caused within such a concentration. Orchards near to woodland and forests are especially at risk. [Pg.166]

DIRECT. Pyrethrum-rotenone sprays have some effect on noctuid moths. At high temperatures Bacillus thuringiensis formulations also have some effect on noctuid moths (50% effect). [Pg.166]
