A Redesigned Electronic Insect Trap for Automated Monitoring of Lepidoptera in Orchards  Brian L. Lehman (PSU) Larry A. Hull (PSU) Johnny Park (Purdue University) German Holguin (Purdue University) Teah Smith (Washington State University) Vincent P. Jones (Washington State University) CSFWC - 2010 B. Lehman/L. Hull  - PSU
Prototype Digital  Trap - 2009 CSFWC - 2010 B. Lehman/L. Hull  - PSU
 Moth trapping issues in 2009 Electronic traps had poor capture rates compared to large plastic delta traps. Vapona® strips likely had repelling effects. Repelling effect of ultrasonic waves emitted from electronics ruled out. Electronic traps often recorded false capture events. CSFWC - 2010 B. Lehman/L. Hull  - PSU

CSFWC - 2010 B. Lehman/L. Hull  - PSU Funnel experiment to determine  moth escape rates
Percent of moths escaping  CSFWC - 2010 B. Lehman/L. Hull  - PSU * Percent moths escaping out of five moths (cm) and ten moths (ofm) per   day over a four day (cm) and three day (ofm) period.
Trap designed with baffle to prevent moths from escaping CSFWC - 2010 B. Lehman/L. Hull  - PSU Jones and Smith, 2010. WSU – unpublished data
 Future electronic trap plans Redesign Z-trap exterior to increase moth capture rates Design trap with modular components so they can be easily modified for specific insects and/or conditions  Modify IR traps to increase capture rates Possibly incorporate Z-trap and IR trap into one trap design Further analyze electronic signals from different target and non-target species Develop a user interface that works in conjunction with wireless communication and automatically displays trap location,  insect detections for individual traps, and graphs of cumulative insect detection B.
