ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a novel composition for attracting mullein bugs, Campylomma verbasci, a pest of tree fruit orchards in North America. The invention also pertains to methods of attracting mullein bugs and predicting future population levels of these insects. The composition for attracting male mullein bugs, Campylomma verbasci, comprises a mixture of butyl butyrate and 2 (E)-crotyl butyrate.
