The attraction of insects to plants and other host organisms involves detection of specific semiochemicals or specific ratios of these semiochemicals. The seven-spot ladybird beetle, Coccinella septempunctata, is a widely distributed predator of several aphid species in diverse habitats worldwide. Pollen and nectar may serve as alternative food sources for coccinellids when aphids are scarce. In order to have a better understanding of the effectiveness of natural enemy species, it is important to study their foraging behavior and olfactory response. The objective of this research was to determine the effects of volatile plant compounds emitted from artificially damaged plants on the orientation of C. septempunctata in a Y-tube olfactometer and 4-arm olfactometer. The response of this predator to three plants (beech, pine, honeysuckle) containing limonene was tested. Plants were artificially damaged to induce the emission of volatile compounds. The attraction of ladybird beetle was greatest and least to the odor of oneysuckle leaves (61.87%) and pine needles (7.07%), respectively, in a 4-arm olfactometer study. The orientation of predators to leaf volatiles of beech, mixed plant odour, honeysuckle and pine was 77.77%, 75.55%, 73.77% and 64.44%, respectively. CR - Al Abassia S., M.A. Birkettb, J.
