Abstract

Clear microdroplets are associated with secretory, abdominal setae on nymphs of the sycamore lace bug Corythucha ciliata. The major component of this exudate material has been identified as 3,6-dihydroxy-2-[1-oxo- lO(E)-terradecenyl]cyclohex-2-en- 1-one [1]. Preliminary observations of these insects suggest a defensive function for these exudate droplets.
