Responses of laboratory‐cultured and wild Dacus oleae flies to small sticky‐coated rectangles hung in olive or apricot trees showed that yellow rectangles captured slightly to many more flies than any others tested, including: light, medium, and dark oranges, greens and grays; red; blue; black; white; aluminum foil; slight, medium, or strong tints of yellow; clear Plexiglas; and the top or bottom surface of olive leaves glued to rectangles. We conclude (1) that the flies' response to yellow is positive attraction and primarily to the hue and not the intensity of yellow, and (2) that the flies are particularly attracted toward those yellowish hues embodying the combined properties of highest amount of light reflectance between 520–580 nm (the area of the insect visible spectrum where green leaves reflect their peak energy) and little reflectance below 520 nm.
