Larra bicolor was collected as a nontarget species in white bucket traps baited with sex pheromones and the floral attractant phenylacetaldehyde in an agricultural area in northwestern Alachua County, Florida. The first wasp was collected in midJune, but larger numbers of wasps were collected in late September and early October. More wasps were collected in traps that had phenylacetaldehyde as a lure. This collection method may aid researchers in determining the dispersal and effectiveness of this natural enemy of Scapteriscus mole crickets.
