Abstract

Five trap designs were evaluated for sampling the insect complex attracted to severed shortleaf (Pinus echinata Mill.), Virginia (P. virginiana Mill.), and loblolly (P. taeda L.) pines. The baffled flight trap was superior for capturing Coleoptera. Plexiglas®, saran screen, and 4-directional Plexiglas traps were most efficient in trapping Diptera and Hymenoptera. The results indicate that the choice of any particular trap depends on the group of insects to be sampled.

Résumé

Cinq formes de pièges ont été testées pour l'échantillonnage du complexe des insectes attirés sur les espèces de pins Pinus echinata Mill., P. virginiana Mill., et P. taeda L. après l'abattage. Le piège à battants s'est avéré supérieur pour la capture des Coléoptères. Les pièges-écrans en Plexiglas® ou en saran, et le piège 4-directions en Plexiglas se sont avérés les plus efficaces pour la capture des Diptères et des Hyménoptères. Les résultats indiquent que le choix d'un piège doit être basé sur le groupe d'insectes à échantillonner.
