Predation of Coffee Berry Borer by a Green Lacewing

Neotropical Entomology, 2021
We report here for the first time, the predation of coffee berry borer (CBB) Hypothenemus hampei (Ferrari) by a green lacewing species, Chrysoperla externa (Hagen). We showed in laboratory the predator ability to access CBB galleries, remove pest immature stages, and prey on them. We also observed predation by third instar larvae on CBB adults.

Prothoracic Gland Semiochemicals of Green Lacewings

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2009
Adult chrysopids have paired prothoracic glands (PG) that are thought to produce defensive secretions (allomones). We analyzed PG extracts of the following green lacewings from North and South America, Australia, and China: Ceraeochrysa cubana (Brazil); Chrysopa (= Co.) oculata, Co. nigricornis, Co. incompleta, Co.

Review of the green lacewing genus Apochrysa Schneider (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Zootaxa, 2020
Delicate green lacewings in the genus Apochrysa Schneider (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Apochrysinae) are reviewed with each species diagnosed and figured; a key to species is included.

Male-Produced Pheromone of the Green Lacewing, Chrysopa nigricornis

Journal of Chemical Ecology, 2006
Gas chromatographic-electroantennographic detection (GC-EAD) analysis showed that male antennae of the green lacewing, Chrysopa nigricornis Burmeister, the most common lacewing species in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, consistently responded to two compounds in thoracic extracts of conspecific males: 1-tridecene and (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial.

Antireflection in Green Lacewing Wings with Random Height Surface Protrusions

Langmuir, 2020
Wings of insects exhibit many functions apart from flying. In particular, their antireflection function is important for insects to avoid detection by their enemies. This function can be applied to antireflection biomimetic films in engineering fields. For such applications, confirming the antireflection mechanisms of insect wings is important. Herein,

Molecular phylogeny of the green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Australian Journal of Entomology, 2006
Abstract  The first quantitative analysis of phylogenetic relationships of green lacewings (Chrysopidae) is presented based on DNA sequence data. A single nuclear and two mitochondrial genes are used in the analysis: carbomoylphosphate synthase (CPS) domain of carbamoyl‐phosphate synthetase‐aspartate transcarbamoylase‐dihydroorotase (CAD) (i.e ...

An Unlikely Silk: The Composite Material of Green Lacewing Cocoons

Biomacromolecules, 2008
Spiders routinely produce multiple types of silk; however, common wisdom has held that insect species produce one type of silk each. This work reports that the green lacewing ( Mallada signata, Neuroptera) produces two distinct classes of silk. We identified and sequenced the gene that encodes the major protein component of the larval lacewing cocoon ...

Stridulatory structures in three green lacewings (Neuroptera : Chrysopidae)

International Journal of Insect Morphology and Embryology, 1987
Abstract The stridulatory structures that occur in Meleoma Fitch, Brinckochrysa Tjeder and Chrysocerca Weele (Neuroptera : Chrysopidae) have been examined for the first time, using scanning electron microscopy. The structures are made up of rows of tubercles, formed by modified microtrichia and setae or sclerotized plates, situated laterally on the ...

The escape strategy of green lacewings from orb webs

Journal of Insect Behavior, 1990
When green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) fly into spider orb webs, they often simply reverse their flight direction and pull away (Table I). If a lacewing is trapped, it uses a specialized escape behavior. It first cuts away the sticky strands entangling head, feet, and antennae. If an antenna cannot be freed by tugging, it uses an “antenna climb”
