Ontario County – first find

SWD adults have been caught at two locations in Ontario County this week ending July 17, 2014, five at one location and three at the other. All traps were the apple cider vinegar and fermenting dough cup trap and are monitored by Gabrielle Brind'Amour in Greg Loeb's program, Dept of Entomology, Cornell University, Geneva, NY. At one location, three females, one per trap, were caught in a summer raspberry planting; one of the traps was on the edge of the planting and the other two were within the crop. At that same location, one male and one female were caught in a trap placed in the nearby woods. At the second Ontario County location, one male and one female were caught in a trap on the edge of a blueberry planting, as well as a single male in a trap at the woods' edge facing the blueberry planting.
