Abstract：Phototaxis of Sogatella furcifera and its natural enemy Cyrtorhinus lividipennis to 6 wavelengths of light-emitting dioded (LED) were evaluated under laboratory conditions. The results indicate that blue (455 nm - 458 nm) and green (515 nm-518 nm) LED lights were more attractive to S. furcifera. Although obvious interactions between wavelength and light intensity, days afteremergence or dark adapted time were found, none of these factors had a significant effect on phototaxis in S. furcifera, C. lividipennis was significantly attracted by blue (455 nm - 458 nm) LED lights.
