Larvae and pupae of the cryptic firefly Photuris fulvipes (Blanchard,1837) are described. They were reared to adult stage from eggs laid by a female collected in São Luiz do Paraitinga, São Paulo, Brazil.

A Model of Teneral Dehydration in Glossina [PDF]
The results of a long-established investigation into teneral transpiration are used as a rudimentary data set. These data are not complete in that all are at 25 $^\circ\mathrm{C}$ and the temperature-dependence cannot, therefore be resolved. An allowance is, nonetheless, made for the outstanding temperature-dependent data.

Natural Enemies of Cranberry Fruitworm, \u3ci\u3eAcrobasis Vaccinii\u3c/i\u3e, (Lepidoptera: Pyraudae) in Michigan Highbush Blueberries [PDF]
A two-year study was conducted in Michigan highbush blueberries to determine the complex of parasitoids attacking cranberry fruitworm, Acrobasis vaccinii. Eight parasitoid species and one fungal pathogen were collected.

Despite the minimal annual temperature variation and the widespread distribution of potential year‐round habitats in Ghana, the migratory potential of the local fall armyworm remains strong and is indistinguishable from that of the fall armyworm in China, which undergo seasonal migration.

Genetic modification of the ant Lasius niger using CRISPR‐Cas9 technology
We successfully modified the cinnabar gene in the black garden ant (Lasius niger) resulting in an abnormal eye colour in mutated adults. We provide a detailed protocol to collect ant eggs, inject them with CRISPR‐Cas9 construct, rear the eggs to adults and verify mutants by sequencing the target gene.

Compliant Blind Handover Control for Human-Robot Collaboration [PDF]
This paper presents a Human-Robot Blind Handover architecture within the context of Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). The focus lies on a blind handover scenario where the operator is intentionally faced away, focused in a task, and requires an object from the robot.

A Set of Discrete Formulae for the Performance of a Tsetse Population During Aerial Spraying [PDF]
A set of discrete formulae that calculates the hypothetical impact of aerial spraying on a tsetse population is derived and the work is thought to be novel. Both the original population and the subsequent generations which survive the aerial spraying, may ultimately be thought of as deriving from two, distinct sources.

Life History and Description of the Immature Stages of \u3ci\u3eMacrotheca Unipuncta\u3c/i\u3e (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) [PDF]
During the summer of 1975, an unknown larval pyralid was found living under the loose outer back of domestic grape (Vitis vinifera L.) in southwestern Michigan. Subsequent rearing enabled it to be identified as Macrotheca unipuncta Dyar.

We report three ca. 100 million‐year‐old lacewing larvae with extraordinarily large stemmata. One of them additionally has a very wide head, which represents a previously unknown morphology. The arrangement of the stemmata indicates stereoscopic vision in these predatory larvae.
