Development of sticky light trap and attractiveness to mushroom-infesting sciarids, Lycoriella mali (Fitch) and Bradysia paupera Tuomikoski (Diptera: Sciaridae)

A sticky light trap was developed to catch adults of the mushroom-infesting sciarids, Lycoriella mali and Bradysia paupera. The trap is a plastic cylinder (27-cm high×13-cm diameter) for a rolled-up sticky sheet around a fluorescent black lamp emitting visible blue and UV light. The lamp attracts 4...

Summary:A sticky light trap was developed to catch adults of the mushroom-infesting sciarids, Lycoriella mali and Bradysia paupera. The trap is a plastic cylinder (27-cm high×13-cm diameter) for a rolled-up sticky sheet around a fluorescent black lamp emitting visible blue and UV light. The lamp attracts 4 to 5 times more female adults than a fluorescent white lamp. More than 90% of trapped adults were female, suggesting that females are more strongly attracted than males. The trap caught 2.5 times more females than an electrocuter using the same light source. Ovipositing females were also attracted, but the percentage to total female catch varied with mushroom house and ranged from 34.8% to 76.4%.
