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.

THE USE OF PHEROMONE TRAPS IN TRAINING FIELD PRACTICE

CONCEPTUAL AND APPLIED ASPECTS OF INVERTEBRATE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH AND BIOLOGICAL EDUCATION, 2020
In field practice on invertebrate zoology and other subjects, in addition to the traditional methods of collecting insects, we can use pheromone traps. Traps were applied in studying the dynamics of xylophilous insects: a sawyer beetle and two bark beetles (an eight-dentated bark beetle and a six-dentated bark beetle).

Rearing Istocheta aldrichi (Diptera: Tachinidae) From Field‐Collected Japanese Beetles (Popillia japonica): 2. Methods to Improve Overwintering, Adult Emergence and Longevity

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
Successful rearing of Istocheta aldrichi, a tachinid parasitoid of invasive Japanese beetle, depended on conditions before, during, and after overwintering. Longer cold exposure increased adult emergence and accelerated post‐diapause development. Early transfer of puparia to cool conditions improved survival, while spring temperature manipulation ...

Enhancing knowledge of non-target tortricid fauna via pheromone monitoring of the quarantine fruit pest Grapholita molesta (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) in Russia

Acta Biologica Sibirica
The oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck, 1916), is an East Asian fruit pest that has spread to both hemispheres causing significant economic losses.

Tachinidae (Diptera) as Floral Visitors and Pollinators in Natural and Managed Systems

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
We review the roles of bristle flies (Tachinidae) as pollinators in natural and managed systems. We find that most tachinid genera visit flowers and that floral‐adapted mouthparts have evolved repeatedly many times in the family. We review patterns of floral specificity and assess the efficacy of tachinids as pollinators with case studies.

Are pheromone traps applicable to forecast an insect pest phenology? A case study on codling moth

Journal of Crop Protection, 2015
Applying a precise forecasting method is necessary to achieve acceptable results in IPM programs. Performances of the wing and delta pheromone traps for forecasting the codling moth phenology were compared with physiological time data based on Degree ...

Selectivity and efficiency: evaluation of synthetic Grapholita molesta sexual pheromones

Plant Protection Science
The effectiveness of pheromone lures for Grapholita molesta (Busck 1916) from Propher (Czech Republic) and Pherobank (Netherlands), the attractiveness of green and transparent pheromone traps and the representation of non-target species were evaluated in

Preliminary laboratory and field trials of a heated pheromone trap for the sandfly lutzomyia logipalpis (Diptera: Psychodidae)

Memorias do Instituto Oswaldo Cruz, 1990
A heated pheromone trap for the sandfly Lutzomyia longipalpis was tested in the laboratory using filter paper or plastic vial dispensers. Male pheromone extracted from 8 male tergal glands and absorbed on to filter paper dispensers attracted 82/120 (68.3%

The effect of caste, mass and colony identity on rescue priorities in the red imported fire ant

Ecological Entomology, EarlyView.
Fire ants will rescue brood when the brood becomes trapped underground. We find that rescuers may use odor cues to locate trapped rescue targets. We demonstrate that a single reproductive larva is preferentially rescued over a single worker larva, but that caches of multiple worker larvae receive equal treatment as a single reproductive larva.
