The pygidial gland secretion of the forest caterpillar hunter, Calosoma (Calosoma) sycophanta: the antimicrobial properties against human pathogens

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2017
Recently, various insect secretions have been tested as possible antimicrobial agents. In beetles, these secretions are essentially products of various exocrine glands, of which particular emphasis is on pygidial glands that are common for the suborder Adephaga.

Histoanatomy of Malpighian tubules and the digestive tract of adult of biocontrol agent Calosoma sycophanta L. (Coleoptera: Carabidae)

International Journal of Tropical Insect Science, 2020
Calosoma sycophanta L. is a voracious predatory beetle that feeds on several important lepidopteran pests such as the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.), the brown-tail moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea L.) and the pine processionary moths (Thaumetopoea pityocampa). It is mass reared in laboratory breeding and released against forest pests. So, C.

Adult feeding affects fecundity of the predator,Calosoma sycophanta (Col.: Carabidae)

Entomophaga, 1993
Calosoma sycophanta L. adults were fed either gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L.) larvae or split grapes for set periods of time while their reproduction was monitored. Few female beetles reproduced unless fed gypsy moth larvae during the first week after they ended hibernation.

Rearing the Cannibalistic Larvae of Calosoma sycophanta (Coleoptera: Carabidae) in Groups

Journal of Entomological Science, 1996
Cannibalistic immatures of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar L. [Lepidoptera: Lymantriidae]) predator Calosoma sycophanta L. (Coleoptera: Carabidae) must usually be reared individually. This paper describes a method of rearing C. sycophanta larvae in groups by placing them in plastic containers having 3 cm of moist peat moss in the bottom.
