Machilus thunbergii (Laurales: Lauraceae, 후박나무) is planted as a street tree in Jeollanamdo and Jeju Island. Orthaga olivacea (Lepidoprate: Pyralidae, 제주집명나방) is known as a major pest of M. thunbergii. For managing O. olivacea by eco-friendly control method, the mating disruption would be expected. The sex pheromone of O. olivacea was identified as a mixture of (Z)-11-hexadecenyl acetate (Z11-16Ac), (Z)-11-hexadecenal (Z11-16Ald), and (Z)-11-hexadecenol (Z11-16OH) at a ratio of 100: 0.1:0.1 by Chinese research group. Before applying mating disruption, confirmation of its attraction in Korea was essential. The pheromone traps composed of Z11-16Ac alone and the blend of three components (100:0.1:0.1) were installed in Haenam, Jeollanamdo in 2021, and Jeju and Seogwipo, Jeju in 2022. In field attraction test, no O. olivacea was attracted to any trap. However, Mamesastra brassicae (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), which was not intended, was caught in both years in the trap. Total of 19 in Haenam between September 23 and 30, total of 11 in Jeju between September 30 and October 28, and total of 108 in Seogwipo between September 15 and November 11 were caught to the trap lured with Z11-16Ac. While in the trap lured with the blend, total 1 and 6 were captured in Haenam and Seogwipo, respectively.
