Abstract
The Western Black Flea Beetle (WBFB), Phyllotreta pusilla Horn (Chrysomelidae: Coleoptera), is one of the most significant pests on the spring canola in Colorado (USA). Different color traps were tested to learn of attraction to WBFB. Yellow, neon yellow, neon green and neon orange sticky color traps were the most attractive for WBFB. However, the blue and silver sticky color traps were less attractive to WBFB. © 2006 Asian Network for Scientific Information.
