ABSTRACT. The responses of carrot fly larvae, Psila rosae, to host plant volatiles were studied. Two criteria for an oriented response were used: one based on whether an individual reached within 1.5 cm of the odour source and one involving analysis of the track patterns of larvae within 3 cm of the odour source. All larval instars were attracted to both host and non‐host plant material, though to a lesser degree by the latter; they were also attracted to CO2, but not to N2. A steam volatile fraction of carrot roots, and methyl eugenol, a volatile component of this fraction, also attracted the larvae, differentially at different concentrations. The possible roles of both CO2 and the host‐specific secondary plant volatiles in the host plant finding behaviour of soil inhabiting arthropods are discussed.
