Silk recycling in larvae of the wax moth, Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2017
Galleria mellonella larvae spin protective tubes, which they use until they finish feeding, when they spin cocoons. A feeding choice experiment showed that some of the silk produced by feeding larvae was consumed in addition to the standard diet (STD ...

Effects of larval diapause and the juvenile hormone analog, fenoxycarb, on testis development and spermatogenesis in the wax moth, Galleria mellonella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2018
Facultative diapause in the wax moth, Galleria mellonella, occurs in the final larval instar. Application of juvenile hormone analogs (JHAs) to the larvae of this species has similar effects to diapause, in terms of prolonged development of the larval ...

Behavioural responses of peach potato aphid, Myzus persicae Sulzer (Hemiptera: Aphididae), to entomopathogenic fungi infected conspecifics

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Myzus persicae showed no detectable behavioural response to Beauveria bassiana‐colonised agar alone. Aphids spent significantly more time in odour fields containing EPF‐infected conspecifics than healthy aphids, agar or blank air. EPF infection may alter host‐associated odours, suggesting pathogen‐mediated cues could influence aphid behaviour and ...

Destruction of peritrophic membrane and its effect on biological characteristics and activity of digestive enzymes in larvae of the Indian meal moth, Plodia interpunctella (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae)

European Journal of Entomology, 2015
The mid gut in insects is usually lined with a peritrophic membrane (PM), which protects it from microbial infections and physical contact with ingested food.

Impact of food scarcity on the foraging dynamics of Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) Impacto da escassez de alimentos na dinâmica de forrageamento de Eriopis connexa (Germar, 1824) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae)

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, EarlyView.
Starvation duration alters predatory behaviour of Eriopis connexa, affecting aphid consumption and survival dynamics. Increased starvation enhances attack rate, accelerating prey depletion without substantially affecting handling time. Functional response remains type II, with stronger predation under prolonged food deprivation.

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.

Moth traps shine a light on nocturnal parasitoid wasps: Snapshot assessment of UK diversity and distributions

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Biological datasets are biased towards well‐known, charismatic taxa, meaning that our understanding of biodiversity is incomplete. Parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera) are an ecologically important, yet often overlooked group of insects. We show that 5 months of sampling for parasitoid ‘bycatch’ at moth light traps operated by citizen scientists provides ...
