Abstract
Sticky yellow rectangle traps are used to monitor various pest Rhagoletis flies (Diptera: Tephritidae), but it is unclear if relative efficacies of these traps differ with fly species. Here, the main objective was to identify the most efficacious of five commercial sticky yellow rectangles baited with ammonium carbonate against western cherry fruit fly, R. indifferens Curran, apple maggot fly, R. pomonella (Walsh), and walnut husk fly, R. completa Cresson, in Washington State, U.S.A. Two plastic yellow sticky strips (PL1 and PL2) supplemented with Tanglefoot adhesive and three sticky yellow cardboards, the Pherocon AM (PA1), Multigard AM (PA2) and Alpha Scents Yellow Card (PA3), were tested. Across all three species, the PL1 and PL2 + Tanglefoot generally caught the most flies, the PA3 sometimes caught more than the PA1, and all caught more than the PA2. Adding Tanglefoot to the PA1 did not make the trap as efficacious as the PL1 + Tanglefoot against R. indifferens , but it did against R. pomonella and R. completa . Results suggest the plastic rectangles tested here are better than standard cardboard rectangles for capturing high numbers of all three Rhagoletis species, implying they should be the rectangles of choice for monitoring these flies. Results also suggest that similar trap efficacies against the three species may have different underlying causes.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
