Figure 1
Screening meshes in comparison with adult cigarette beetles (left and center images). Test apparatus (right). Polystyrene containers (12 cm ø × 8 cm) with 10-cm holes in the bottom, between which polypropylene meshes with 0.66 mm, 0.84 mm, or 1.0 mm openings were placed, were stacked on top of each other, and the lid of the top container was closed. Approximately 200 unsexed adults were released in the bottom compartment.
Figure 2
Distribution of the widths of prothoraxes of the laboratory-reared cigarette beetles that passed through #24 (open bar), #20 (dotted bar), and #18 (filled bar) meshes.
Figure 3
Frequency distribution of the widths of the prothoraxes of the wild cigarette beetles captured in pheromone traps around three tobacco factories in Japan during July and August 2017. Bars represent the composition ratio (left scale), and line represents the cumulative frequency (right scale).
