We present a list of 114 different species of phytophagous insects (Hymenoptera Apoidea, Lepidoptera and Heteroptera) that were collected in carrion-baited traps in central Spain. We discuss the feeding habits of these insects as found in previously published literature, especially in tropical environments. In each group studied. the reasons for their attraction appear to be different. but M any case, we demonstrated that many species of phytophagous insects exploit this resource, at least on an occasional basis and that it is a regular activity in temperate and not only tropical latitudes.
