Abstract
Traps for tropical pest tephritids have relied primarily on chemical cues while traps for temperate pest tephritids have relied primarily on visual cues. Here we review research on the interactions between chemical and visual cues that have been observed in the development of traps for the tropical Mediterranean fruit fly, Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), and the temperate apple maggot, Rhagoletis pomonella (Walsh). By exploiting these interactions, it may be possible to produce efficacious trapping systems that could be used in a behavioral approach to fruit fly population control.
