B.
Caterpillars
C.
Female Moths
D.
None of these
Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
The pheromone trap attracts neither female bugs, caterpillars, or female moths.
A pheromone trap is a type of insect trap that uses pheromones to lure insects. Pheromone traps are used both to count insect populations by sampling and to trap pests such as clothes moths to destroy them.
Pheromone traps are very sensitive, meaning they attract insects present at very low densities. They are often used to detect the presence of exotic pests, for sampling, monitoring, or to determine the first appearance of a pest in an area.
