Food Volatiles as Attractants for Yellowjackets (Hymenoptera: Vespidae)
2001
Environmental Entomology
Assays with a captive Vespula germanica (F.) colony indicated that foragers were more strongly attracted to pear aged 24 h than to 0-or 48-h-aged pear. Sixteen chemicals found in 24-h pear and other foods were tested for their attractiveness to social wasps in a series of four trapping trials in rural and urban settings in Wisconsin. Workers of V. germanica, V. maculifrons, Dolichovespula maculata (L.), and Polistes fuscatus (F.) were most strongly attracted to isobutanol with 0.5% acetic acid
