Abstract: A composition that includes: Z,Z-(3R,4S)-cis-3,4-epoxy-6,9-heptadecadiene; and Z,Z,Z-3,6,9-heptadecatriene, where the Z,Z-(3R,4S)-cis-3,4-epoxy-6,9-heptadecadiene and the Z,Z,Z-3,6,9-heptadecatriene are present in a ratio of between 5:1 (by mass) and about 20:1 (by mass). The composition may be for attracting a male blueberry spanworm moth. Use of a composition that includes Z,Z-(3R,4S)-cis-3,4-epoxy-6,9-heptadecadiene and Z,Z,Z-3,6,9-heptadecatriene for attracting male blueberry spanworm. A method of attracting male blueberry spanworm moths that includes placing a composition comprising Z,Z-(3R,4S)-cis-3,4-epoxy-6,9-heptadecadiene and Z,Z,Z-3,6,9-heptadecatriene suitably close to a field of having the male blueberry spanworm moths.
