| Abstract: | A survey on the visual attraction of colours for 2 tabanid fly species, Hybomitra alsoi and Tabanus nipponnicus, was carried out by the use of blue, black, red, whie and yellow coloured NGU traps at Chitose and Shizunai in 1995. As a result of this survey, 4H. olsoi was found to be strongly attracted to blue and red traps and T. nipponicus to red ones. The white and yellow traps were consistently unattractive to both H. olsoi and T. nipponicus. |
