アオクサカメムシNezara antennata Scott（カメムシ目：カメムシ科）雄成虫に誘引された同種成虫の生理状態

抄録

To understand the biological functions of male-produced pheromone of Nezara antennata Scott, we investigated the physiological status of N. antennata attracted to conspecific adult males. Most females captured in traps baited with adult males had immature ovaries and were unmated. Males attracted in July had entirely undeveloped ectodermal accessory gland, which are involved in reproduction. Many adults were attracted from June to July, when the bugs were considered to be in summer diapause. It is suggested that N. antennata use the volatiles emitted by adult males for reasons other than as mating cues. The nutritional status of most N. antennata adults captured in traps was poor. These results suggested that N. antennata use the volatiles emitted by adult males as cues to find food.
