Japanese beetle traps
Traps for monitoring for presence Japanese beetle (Popillia japonica) can also attract nontarget insects such as native bees. A new study shows traps with eugenol and phenethyl propionate—and leaving out geraniol—remain effective in catching Japanese beetles but significantly reduce bee bycatch. Plus, entirely green, brown, black, or red traps are least attractive to native bees. (Image originally published in Sipolski et al 2019, Environmental Entomology)
