The date moth Ectomyelois ceratoniae Zeller (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is considered at present a permanent danger for date palm in Algeria. The polyphagia of this insect and its wide distribution on various hosts as well as the particular behavior of its neonatal caterpillars make this insect a major pest of the Algerian palm groves. In this context, the study of the attractiveness of this bio-aggressor by the extract of the Deglet Nour variety with hexane was tested on larvae in different stages. These extracts were identified and quantified by coupling gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).
