The long range orientation of most other Insects In response to chemical attractants Is not nearly as clear. The olfactory orientation of the Colorado potato beetle has been studied In considerable detail by Vlsser and coworkers.

Compounds such as -2-hexen-l-ol, 1-hexanol, Z-3-hexen-l-ol, and -2-hexenol and linalool (a monoterpene) are involved in the olfactory orientation of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decimlineata, to the foliage of the potato. Solarium tuberosum (Solanaceae). However, none of the individual components alone was attractive the beetle was attracted only to a mixture similar to that of the host plant (Visser and Ave, 1978 Visser et al., 1979). A similar complement of compounds seems to be involved in attraction of the alfalfa seed chalcid (Bruchophagus roddi) to alfalfa (Medicago sativa, Fabaceae) (Buttery and Kamm, 1980).

We shall not, therefore, depend only on the Olfactory orientated perception when we want to understand and communicate on the way the consumer uses and associates the fragrances he or she chooses.
