Geographic Coverage

Sampling sites cover seven sites including four alfalfa fields and three commercial apple orchards in the Pannonian Lowland of Hungary

Taxonomic Coverage

27,539 individuals of 123 flower-visiting species were identified to species level, belonging to eight insect orders. Lepidoptera was the most species-rich order, with 98 species, and was dominated by the family Noctuidae, with 52 species of 9 subfamilies. The further most diverse groups were Hymenoptera (S=9) and Hemiptera (S=8), while Diptera, Orthoptera, Coleoptera, and Mecoptera were represented by only a few species.

Sampling Methods

The samplings were carried out in the flowering period of the apple and alfalfa. CSALOMON® VARL+ baited traps were used in each sampling sites, with phenylacetaldehyde-based synthetic lures that imitate the scent of strongly fragnant. In apple orchards, the traps were placed on branches of trees, with a spacing of 20 m between them at heights of 1.8–2.0 m. In alfalfa fields, traps were placed at the field margins on 1 m height mounted on wooden stakes and spaced 15 m apart. Traps were checked and emptied weekly in the apple orchards, and twice a week in the alfalfa fields. The baits were replaced every four weeks.

Method step description:

1. Samples were stored at -20 °C in fridge till identification in laboratory.
