This invention discloses a butterfly adult directional attractant based on volatile chemical substances, along with its preparation and application methods. The invention uses a combination of readily available chemical reagents, such as
linalool, as volatile signaling substances to efficiently induce various butterfly adults, including the Common Mormon and the Citrus Swallowtail, which use citrus plants (
Rutaceae family) as hosts, to complete forward directional movements through flight or walking. This method can induce the synchronized directional movements of multiple butterflies of various species at a relatively low cost, and has significant practical value for human-butterfly interaction projects in ecological landscape construction and recreational experience settings.
