By attracting male euglossine bees with cineole, eugenol, methyl salicylate, methyl cinnamate and benzyl acetate in Costa Rican lowland deciduous forest and rain forest, no indication of change in the composition and numbers of rain forest attractable bee species during different seasons was found, but within the deciduous forest both abundance and species richness declined in the dry season. Within each major forest type there were substantial differences in the abundance and species composition of attractable bees among habitats: baits in estuarine swamp forest and open pasture in the rain forest attracted very few bees as compared with nearby forest understory sites. In the deciduous forest, at least 15 spp. of male euglossine bees were attracted that apparently do not have breeding populations in this forest and that do not visit orchids in this forest; probably they normally find females and chemical resources elsewhere in distant habitats or forest types.
