Exploiting Native Biodiversity for Invasive Species Management: The Case of Exorista larvarum as a Natural Enemy of the Invasive Box Tree Moth Cydalima perspectalis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
The investigations evaluated the performance of the native parasitoid Exorista larvarum (L.) on last instar Cydalima perspectalis (Walker) larvae, using the factitious host Galleria mellonella (L.) as a control. Laboratory bioassays were conducted using no‐choice and choice (1:1 and 5:5) experimental designs.

Rearing Istocheta aldrichi (Diptera: Tachinidae) From Field‐Collected Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica): 1. Methods to Improve Insect Collection and Parasitoid Pupariation

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We describe methods for collecting and rearing the tachinid parasitoid Istocheta aldrichi from parasitized Japanese beetle adults. Hosts can be collected by hand and reared in the laboratory, or by using modified trap containers with added plant material and substrate to provide suitable conditions for I.

Does the munch affect the bunch? Using community science to explore insect herbivory and fruit production in an understory plant

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
We used iNaturalist records, a longitudinal field survey, and a simulated herbivory experiment to explore how insect herbivory factors are associated with Cornus canadensis fruit production. Naturally observed internal and external insect herbivory was mostly low intensity and did not have a strong relationship with fruit production.
