title: Olfactory responses ofOrius insidiosus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) to volatiles of corn silks.
abstract: A synomone present in hexane extracts of corn silks was found to attractOrius insidiosus (Say). The attraction was a diurnal, innate behavior, independant of sex. A portion of the prey-searching behavior ofO. insidiosus apparently relies on olfactory perception when corn is the prey's host.
