Bioassay of factors that trigger the cleaning behavior of soldiers of T. styraci. (a) Schematic illustration of the experimental system. (b) Results of the bioassay (also see Fig. 6). Lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, oleic acid and linoleic acid were tested alone or blended at the ratios of 0.6: 0.8: 1.1: 0.8: 1.0: 1.0, which mimick the cuticular fatty acid profile of 1-week-old dead adult aphids
