Areawide Insect Trapping Network (December 11, 2013)
Results of pheromone and sticky trap catches can be viewed here.

Corn earworm/Tobacco budworm: Flight activity has declined significantly in all growing areas, and no moths have been captured in any of the traps since Nov 15.

Cabbage looper/Beet armyworm: Flight activity continues to decrease in all areas consistent with the cold weather we have been experiencing. Very few moths have been captured in the last week.

Whitefly: Overall, sticky traps show that adult movement is almost negligible consistent with the cold weather.

Thrips: Numbers were low in all locations this week, again likely a reflection of cooler weather.

Aphids: Winged aphids catches were observed in all trap locations. Activity remains high in the South Yuma Valley. Alate green peach aphids are beginning to show up on traps.
