Abstract
The defensive secretion of the coconut stick insect,Graeffea crouani Le Guillou (Phasmatodea: Phasmatidae) from the Pacific Islands has, as major constituents:trans,trans- andtrans,cis-iridodials and nepetalactone.Cis,trans-iridodial is a minor constituent. A minor iridoid has yet to be identified. Male and female insects yield the same constituents.
