Abstrakt: The scent secretions of two subspecies of Hebomoia glaucippe, which are pierid butterflies, and the essential oils of their food plant were investigated by means of GC and GC-MS. The scent substances of either subspecies are found to be only E-β-ocimene, and the volatile components of Crataeva religiosa were identified as 2-hexanal, 3-hexen-1-ol, p-cymene, limonene, linalool, α-ionone, and β-ionone. Electroantennogram (EAG) were recorded with the antennae of adult male and female butterflies. It was found that EAG responses of male to E-β-ocimene were greater than those of females.
