Definition:
Attractant: Something that is attractive. The song of mole cricket males is attractive to females of the same species, and also is attractive to gravid female Ormia depleta. Song of mole cricket males also attracts some other males of the same species and, to even more limited extent, of other species. Incandescent and fluorescent lights are attractive to some flying adult mole crickets at night and to some other insects. Traps have been designed to take advantage of these attractants. Baits have been developed as attractants for mole cricket nymphs and adults. In some insects, the scent of females is attractive to males and/or the scent of males is attractive to females, but this kind of attraction has not been demonstrated in mole crickets.
