Abstract

Fourth-instar larvae of the eastern spruce bud-worm Choristoneura fumiferanaClem. (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) were shown in two-choice feeding tests to respond differently to epicuticular waxes from different white spruce and balsam fir trees. Larvae also showed different preferences for various wax fractions obtained by separation on silicic acid.
