Occurrence Dynamics of Agrotis ypsilon (Rottemberg) in Weifang

[Objective]The paper was to monitor the occurrence dynamics of Agrotis ypsilon in Weifang and to clarify its occurrence regularity.[Method]High-altitude trap lamp and ground trap lamp were used to trap insects respectively.The lamps were automatically turned on at 19:00 every day,and monitored for 12 h until 7:00 am.The species of insects trapped by lamps was recorded every day,and the number of each species was counted.[Result]The peak periods of A.ypsilon caught by high-altitude trap lamp were basically consistent with those caught by ground trap lamp,indicating that A.ypsilon was more likely to immigrate from local area of Weifang.[Conclusion]The study provides theoretical support for migration prediction and early warning of A.ypsilon in Weifang.
