Description
Hany Dweck sets out a lab protocol for recording smell responses in the spotted lanternfly, in this 2024 paper. The lanternfly is an invasive sap-feeding insect that harms trees and crops. How it smells its way to host plants, groups, and mates guides control efforts. The protocol measures single smell cells on the insect's mouthparts, called the labium.
Steps cover making odor cartridges, mounting the labium, and setting up the recording rig. The method then captures how nerve cells fire in reply to each odor. Sensitivity, selectivity, and response timing can all be read from the traces. Analysis steps close the protocol. Pest researchers gain a tested recipe for probing this invader's nose.
