Standard corex plastic delta traps were constructed from 10 different colors and baited with sex pheromones in trials against several fruit moths (codling moth, obliquebanded leafroller, pandemis leafroller, grape berry moth and peach twig borer). Temperature probes measured internal temperature of these traps over a 24 hour period. Reflectance wavelength was measured with a spectrophotometer.

Species 1: Lepidoptera Tortricidae Cydia pomonella (Codling Moth)
Species 2: Lepidoptera Tortricidae Choristoneura rosaceana (Obliquebanded leafroller)
Species 3: Lepidoptera Pyralidae Anarsia lineatella (Peach twig borer)
Keywords: Fruit IPM, Monitoring
