Raman Signature of the Wings of the Globe Skimmer Dragonfly: Pantala flavescens
Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, EarlyView.Raman spectroscopy is used to confirm the presence of aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons and related derivatives including aldehydes, halides, alcohols, acids, esters, and phenols on the wings of Pantala flavescens. The analysis indicates that wing‐surface lipid composition is largely consistent across the three main ecological zones in Ghana. Notably,

New Plant Protection, EarlyView.Flight in female beet webworms (Loxostege sticticalis) promotes an increase in feeding, thereby enhancing abdominal energy reserves. Following flight, the flight muscles undergo accelerated histolysis, and the energy substances undergoing histolysis are redirected to the ovaries. These two processes collectively promote ovarian development.
