Abstract Data are presented that demonstrate the responsiveness ofChrysopa carnea Stephens larvae to kairomones in the moth scales ofHeliothis zea (Boddie). Rates of predation byC. carnea on eggs ofH. zea were increased whenH. zea moth scales or a hexane extract of the scales was applied to the search area under laboratory and greenhouse conditions.
