Broadband Photoreceptors Are Involved in Violet Light Preference in the Parasitoid Fly Exorista Japonica.

Phototaxis has been described in many insects, which are often attracted to specific wavelengths of light. However, little is known about phototaxis in parasitoid insect species that are potentially useful for integrated pest management. In this study, we investigated the wavelength dependency of th...
