Fun Facts!:
Nepelactone belongs to a group of compounds called terpenes. Another terpenoid is limonene, an aromatic compound found in the rind of lemons that is responsible for some of the lemony odour, and it's also antibacterial!
Iridodial (a compound also found in catnip) has been found to attract lacewings that eat aphids and mites; this, paired with nepetalactone's insect repellence, helps protect the catnip plant from pests.
