Abstract

Boxelder bugs, Boisea trivittata, are deterred from predation by green anoles ( Anolis carolinensis). Hydrodistillation and GC-MS analysis reveals B. trivittata to contain the volatile monoterpene hydrocarbons β-pinene (83.9%), limonene (14.7%), myrcene (0.8%), and ( E)-β-ocimene (0.6%). The presence of these antifeedant volatile chemicals may serve to provide some protection of boxelder bugs from predation.
