Insects in production – an introduction
Insects have been on the menu of humans for centuries, but only recently their mass production for human food and animal feed started. First, we inventory mass cultured insects and their application. The insect production industry raises many interesting questions about insect biology and fitness.

Optimizing aphid biocontrol with the predator Aphidoletes aphidimyza, based on biology and ecology
AbstractAphidoletes aphidimyza is one of the most important predators used in the augmentative biological control of aphids, key pests of many crops worldwide. Adult females are very efficient in locating aphid infestations over a relatively long range, up to 45 m, and deposit eggs near or within aphid colonies.

Aphid alarm pheromone alters larval behaviour of the predatory gall midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza and decreases intraguild predation by anthocorid bug, Orius laevigatus [PDF]
Intraguild predation is the killing and consuming of a heterospecific competitor that uses similar resources as the prey, and also benefit from preying on each other.

Les pucerons des cultures protégées et leurs ennemis en Tunisie [PDF]
Aphids in the protected crops and their natural enemy in Tunisia. The importance of damage caused by aphids in protected crops, led us to carry out the inventory of aphids as well as the antagonists and to study the distribution of aphid population of ...

Multi‐species transcriptomics and deep learning identified candidate genes associated with silk and venom production in Bibionomorpha. Venom‐associated genes were enriched in proteases, inhibitors and pore‐forming proteins, whereas silk‐related genes showed chitin‐binding and peritrophin domains. Integrating co‐expression networks, machine learning and

Toxic effect of some pesticides on adults and larvae of Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani).
We tested the effects of 40 insecticides, 11 acaricides, and 13 fungicides on adults of Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) by a residual-contact method in test tubes at 24± 1°C in the laboratory. Adults were reared in test tubes treated internally with aqueous dilutions of a pesticide.

A Rearing Method for an Aphidophagous Gall Midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) (Diptera : Cecidomyiidae) Using Aphis gossypii Glover (Homoptera : Aphididae) on Egg Plant Seedlings [PDF]
A predacious gall midge, Aphidoletes aphidimyza (Rondani) is one of the effective biological control agents against aphids. In Japan, A. aphidimyza has been recorded as a biological control agent since 1998, and has been used especially in greenhouses ...

ABSTRACT The use of insectary plants to provide alternative food and shelter resources for enhancing natural enemy activity has been established as a common practice in IPM. Candidate flowering plant species have been screened and evaluated for their contribution to enhance life parameters of beneficial insects.
