In Egypt, the leopard mod) Zeuzera pyrina (Lepidoptera: Cossidae) causes economic damage in fruit orchards. The effectiveness of different locally made trap designs, i.e. shape, size, height, color, and distance between traps were evaluated in severe infested pear orchard at Tokh distrid. Qalubie governorate throughout 7 moth's activity seasons (1996 to 2000). The relative effectiveness, the economic cost and the applicability were highly considered. Data concluded the following results: 1.Trap shape: Out of 8 commercially locally made and imported traps, transparent carbonated water bottle was the preferred and best trap shape for Z pyrina under the Egyptian conditions. It was less expensive, easier to construct, use, store and tranSpOrt, required less preparation and handling time in the field and had large capacity available for capturing mass numbers of males. However, large opaque ice cream cups, transparent or opaque mineral water or petroleum oil or vegetable oil bottles, or buckets, locally made or imported cardboard pyramid sticky traps, locally made or imported funnel traps were less effective and highly cost. 2.Trap size: out of 4 trap sizes (0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 liters), 2 liters size was the most efficient trap. 3.Trap height Out of 6 different heights (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.5 meters), the optimum trap height was 1.5 meters above the ground level. 4.Trap color: Out of 7 trap colors (yellow, red, white, blue, green, black and transparent), the optimum trap color was yellow but transparent was economical the best with almost equal effectiveness. 5.Trap distance (numbers of traps per feddan): Out of 4 trap distances (5, 10, 15 and 20 meters apart), represented 168, 42, 18 and 10 traps per feddan, the maximum trapping distance for trapping Z. pyrina was 20 meters apart (10 traps per redden). From all the previous results, and considering the economical and applicable aspects, 2 liters size transparent carbonated water bottle traps that were suspended on trees at 1 5 meters above the ground and placed at 20 meters between trees, were the optimum trap design and the best one for trapping Z. pyrina.
