Abstract
In pear orchards, we studied the efficiency of a sticky trap method for cen susing the natural enemy fauna of the spider mite Tetranychus kanzawai. Whe n compared to beating and direct observation methods, the sticky trap captu red a larger number of insect predator species. The sticky trap was particu larly useful for censusing Stethorus japonicus and Orius spp. when the dens ity of the spider mite was low in the orchards. The sticky traps with synth etic plant volatiles slightly, but significantly increased the number of Or ius spp. captured in the trap when compared with the traps without the chem icals.
