There aren't very large numbers of macro moths, just a few noctuids, some small pyralids, and a handful of geometrids. |
For example, the population density of Noctuids could be simulated through designing multiple paired light traps in different distances apart. |
Habituation to the signal may also have been an issue, as the nerve cells of noctuids previously have been shown to habituate to a continuous ultrasonic tone. |
Collection of soybean looper and other noctuids in phenylacetaldehyde-baited field traps. |
Induction deterred herbivory by noctuids and aphids, and increased the probability of plant survival. |
There aren't very large numbers of macro moths certainly nowhere near the diversity we see in New England, a few noctuids, some small pyralids, and a handful of geometrids. |
