NEW WINDSPACK Trap for monitoring scarab beetles

Scarab beetles have wide feeding habitats, including golf courses, orchards, vegetable fields, and horticultural facilities where they directly or indirectly attack raw produce by eating and destroying roots, leaves, and flowers. NEW WINDSPACK is designed to meet those beetles’ habit and characteristic features and excellent for effective monitoring.

Japanese beetle Scientific name: Popillia japonica: Adults are 9 to 13.5 mm with a compact oval shape. The head and thorax are green to black, while the wings are reddish copper green and in rare cases black. A distinctive feature is the patches and tufts of white hair on their sides.The larvae feed on the roots of lawn and pasture grasses and on humic substances. The adults feed on pasture grass, weeds, and the leaves and flowers of kidney beans, azuki and other beans, and of apples, sweet cherries, grapes, roses, and knotweed. Adults are diurnal. They have 1 generation a year and once every 2 years in the cold regions.

Soybean beetle Scientific name: Anomala rufocuprea: Adults are 12.5 to 17.5 mm with a medium-size long-oval shape. There are several variants in body color, which can be copper-red, green, copper-green, blue, and nut-brown. The larvae mainly feed on the roots of grasses and wheat, and on humic substances. The adults feed on the leaves of soybeans and other beans, fruit trees, and broad-leaved trees, causing widespread damage. Adults are nocturnal. They have 1 generation a year and once every 2 to 3 years in the cold regions.

Cupreous chafer Scientific name: Anomala cuprea: Adults are 17 to 25 mm. The body is an overall bluish copper color, sometimes green. They have fine spots on the head, thorax, and dorsal surface. The larvae damage root tubers and root vegetables such as sweet potatoes and taro, leaving feeding traces on the surface. Strawberries, peanuts, fruit trees, garden shrubs and many other plants are also affected by them. Adults cause damage to chestnut trees, grape vines, persimmon, and other fruit trees, to the leaves of legume plants, and to rose petals. Adults are nocturnal. They have 1 generation a year.

Anomala schoenfeldti Scientific name: Anomala schoenfeldti: Adults are 9 to 14 mm. The dorsal surface is yellowish brown to reddish brown, and the ventral surface is yellowish brown. They are found mainly in grassy sand dunes along seacoasts, and have been seen also in grasslands and chestnut trees. The larvae feed mainly on the roots of grasses. Adults are nocturnal. They have 1 generation a year.

Anomala octiescostata Scientific name: Anomala octiescostata: Adults are 9 to 13 mm. Their bodies are reddish and greenish copper, while the underside and legs are reddish and blackish copper. The larvae mainly feed on the roots of grasses. The adults feed on the leaves of maple and other trees, and occasionally persimmon trees. Adults are diurnal. They have 1 generation a year.

Oriental beetle Scientific name: Blitopertha orientalis: Adults are 8 to 13.5 mm. Their bodies are yellowish brown, with black spotted patterns developing to various degrees. Completely black individuals are also to be found. The larvae have wide feeding habits, damaging various types of grasses. Adults are harmful to leaves of broad-leaved trees and rose petals, and in Hawaii are known as sugarcane pests. Adults are nocturnal. They have 1 generation a year.

Green chafer Scientific name: Anomala albopilosa: Adults are 17.5 to 25 mm, with a large long-oval shape. The dorsal surface is green to reddish green. The ventral surface and legs are reddish brown to copper color. A distinctive feature is the golden hairs ornamenting the tail end. The larvae feed mainly on the roots of sugarcane, sweet potato plants, and pineapple plants. Adults feed on fruit trees such as loquat. These insects have wide feeding habits, damaging various types of crops. Adults are nocturnal.

Yellowish elongate chafer Scientific name: Heptophylla piceasa: Adults are 10 to 14 mm. The body color is yellowish brown to dark brown. The larvae mainly feed on roots of tea plants and larch saplings, as well as of garden plants such as rhododendrons and azaleas. Honeysuckle plants are also affected by them. Adults feed on leaves of garden plants and other vegetation. They are a major threat to tea plants bushes and garden shrubs. They are nocturnal and attracted to light.

The traps can be reused by replacing the lures.

Assembly and setting are simple. Captured insects are easier to remove now that the opening has been made five times larger than the older model.

The capacity of the container can be adjusted in two stages based on the situation. The trap can be set closer to the ground by choosing a smaller capacity, which will increase the capture rate of low-flying beetles.

(A) Remove one lure and place it in the holder.

*Color of individual lures may not be the same but has no effect in product quality.

(B) Close the holder cover.

(A) Open the bottle cap.

(B) Turn the bottle upside down.

Place the traps at a suitable height for each species of beetle.

(A) Suspending from a tree

(Make sure it is not concealed by leaves)

(B) Suspending from a pole

Note: Recommended heights are the same for both tree and pole suspension

- Set in a well-ventilated location. (If set in a woods or other area with poor air circulation, it may not perform adequately.)
- An attraction range of from 50 to 100m can be expected as a general rule.
- Adjust the trap height depending on the target species of beetle.
- Dispose of the captured insects before the trap becomes full. If captured insects are left in the trap for an extended time, they will decompose and reduce the attraction
effectiveness. (At peak emergence times, the trap can become full in one day.)

Note: When using NEW WINDSPACK for multiple species at the same time, setting lures too close together may cause cross-interference. Keep the traps at least 20m apart.
*Use within the designated shelf life.
** Avoid sunlight and store at room temperature in a dark place. An exception is the lure for Japanese mealybugs, which should be sealed tightly and stored in a refrigerator (at around 5°C).

*1 In areas with many soybean beetles present, use the soybean beetle lure.
*2 In areas where cupreous chafers are present, many of them may be captured.
*3 Useful for early detection of Green chafer. After that, the number of insects captured will decrease due to the biology of the target insect.
