The casemoth, Liothula omnivoa (Psychidae : lepidoptera) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Zoology at Massey University [PDF]
, 1967 Liothula omnivora, one of the two known casemoths endemic to New Zealand, belongs to the Lepidopteran family Psychidae. It is distributed throughout the country, and can be found on a large number of host plants (see later). The other N.Z.

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.Different insect species exhibit remarkable diversity in the developmental trajectories from fertilized eggs to hatching larvae. For three myrmicine ant species, we observe a novel combination of a developmental features: small embryonic primordia, a mode of embryogenesis termed short/intermediate germ‐band development, and progressive establishment of

Cricket antennae shorten when bending (Acheta domesticus L.). [PDF]
, 2014 Insect antennae are important mechanosensory and chemosensory organs. Insect appendages, such as antennae, are encased in a cuticular exoskeleton and are thought to bend only between segments or subsegments where the cuticle is thinner, more flexible, or

Insect chemosensory proteins as targets in insecticide resistance and development
New Plant Protection, EarlyView.This review addresses the biological and chemical properties of insect chemosensory proteins (CSPs) and presents their functional advancements, not only in olfaction but also in nonolfactory processes, particularly in relation to insecticide resistance.

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.All Spodoptera frugiperda were rice strain with two haplotypes, likely from a common mixed source. ABCC2 and Ace‐1 mutations, conferring resistance to Bacillus thuringiensis and organophosphates/carbamates, respectively, were detected. Abstract BACKGROUND The invasive fall armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda, FAW), a highly destructive pest affecting more ...

Optimized Body Deformation in Dragonfly Maneuvers [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Tail bending associated with maneuvering flight of insects is a known phenomenon although there are only a few studies which analyze and quantify the effects and benefits of body configuration changes. We hypothesized that these configuration changes help reduce the energy expenditure in flight.

Proteolytic stabilization of a spider venom peptide results in an orally active bioinsecticide
Pest Management Science, EarlyView.Selective editing out of an insect gut protease cleavage site renders a spider‐derived insecticidal peptide active by ingestion by insect pests. Abstract BACKGROUND The toxin peptide U1‐AGTX‐Ta1b from the Hobo spider, Eratigena agrestis (Walckenaer, 1802), was studied to determine its potential to serve as a bioinsecticide.
