Abstract

Avicennia marina is one of the most important species of mangrove in the southern coast of Iran which has built up massive communities on the low slopes of muddy tidal waters shores. Therefore, the research was conducted to catch insects and pests in mangroves to identify them in Minab city. Traps used in this research included cylindrical trap, yellow sticky trap and bucket-color trap. The installation of traps was carried out at four stations including Khergan, Kulaghan, Tiab and Khor Namaki areas in early May 2017. The total number of trapped insects was 483, identified by experts from the plant health research institute. Species included:
Apis mellifera L. (Hym.: Apidae)، Muscina prolapsa Fallen (Dip.: Muscidae)، Oria musculosa (Hubner) (Lep.: Noctuidae)، Agrotis daedalus (Lep.: Noctuidae)، Lygephila sp. (Lep.: Erebidae)، Helicoverpa armigera (Hubner) (Lep.: Noctuidae)، Xylocopa latipes (Hym.: Apidae) ،Hypaetha schmidti (Col.: Carabidae), Mylabris variabilis (Col.: Meloidae), Polistes carolina (Hym.: Vespidae). These 10 species are reported for the first time from mangroves in the southern of Iran. Also, the results of the traps' survey indicated no significant difference between bucket color trap (mean 1.9), yellow sticky trap (mean 1.38) and cylindrical trap (mean 2.55) in pest's absorption at different stations. Also white and orange colors have the highest efficiency in capturing insects in mangroves.
