Evaluation of Protein Bait Formulations for the Caribbean Fruit Fly (Diptera: Tephritidae)
The Florida Entomologist, 1993 Laboratory and field trials were conducted to determine the preference of the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa (Loew), for aqueous formulations of the protein bait NuLure@? and standard torula yeast plus sodium borate (HTY-borax) pellets. Addition of 1-10% borax to 10% NuLure solution increased bait pH, and this increase was directly correlated

Colored Spherical Traps for Capture of Caribbean Fruit Fly, Anastrepha suspensa
The Florida Entomologist, 1990 Colored spheres of five different sizes (6.3, 8.9, 14.0, 16.5, 20.0 cm diam) and five colors (orange, black, yellow, green, white) were coated with a trapping compound and presented to field-caged flies (males, virgin females, mated females). The most females were captured on the 20 cm orange, green, and white balls and the 8.9 cm yellow ball.
