Anastrepha Schiner is the most economically important genus of fruit flies in Mexico (Aluja et al. 1987). These fruit flies are currently detected and surveyed with McPhail traps, although problems with efficiency and variability of capture have been described (Liedo 1983, Aluja et al. 1989). A few studies of the behavior of fruit flies employing McPhail traps have been reported (Prokopy & Economopoulos 1975, Aluja et al. 1989). McPhail (1937) studied the adult activity of Anastrepha ludens (Loew) in mango trees using McPhail traps
