Abstract
The effect of mating status and adult age of the rice leaf bug, Trigonotylus caelestialium, on the attractiveness of females to males was investigated. A trap baited with virgin females tended to attract more males than one baited with mated females. This result indicates that the sex pheromone emitted by females may decrease after mating. Furthermore, more males tended to be captured in the trap baited with virgin females at three days after emergence compared with those aged six days. This result suggests that the sex pheromone emitted by virgin females may decrease with age.
