摘要: Giant silk moths (Lepidoptera: Saturniidae) typically are not well represented as larvae or adults in community level inventories of Lepidoptera, and a result, little is known about their population dynamics. Furthermore, recent years, many species appear to have experienced declines. Volatile sex pheromones powerful sampling tools that can be used operational conservation monitoring programs for insects. Here, we describe the identification attractant pheromone giant moth, luna moth Actias luna. Coupled gas chromatography-electroantennographic detection chromatography-mass spectrometric analyses extracts from glands female supported (6E,11Z)-6,11-octadecadienal (E6,Z11–18:Ald), (6E)-6-octadecenal (E6–18:Ald), (11Z)-11-octadecenal (Z11–18:Ald) compounds elicited responses antennae male moths. These identifications were confirmed by synthesis, followed testing blends synthetic field trials Ontario, Canada, Kentucky, USA. Male attracted E6,Z11–18:Ald single component. Attraction appeared enhanced addition E6–18:Ald but Z11–18:Ald, suggesting consists blend E6–18:Ald.
