  • Macrolepidoptera Inventory of the Chilcotin District
    Macrolepidoptera Inventory of the Chilcotin District Aud I. Fischer – Biologist Jon H. Shepard - Research Scientist and Crispin S. Guppy – Research Scientist January 31, 2000 2 Abstract This study was undertaken to learn more of the distribution, status and habitat requirements of B.C. macrolepidoptera (butterflies and the larger moths), the group of insects given the highest priority by the BC Environment Conservation Center. The study was conducted in the Chilcotin District near Williams Lake and Riske Creek in central B.C. The study area contains a wide variety of habitats, including rare habitat types that elsewhere occur only in the Lillooet-Lytton area of the Fraser Canyon and, in some cases, the Southern Interior. Specimens were collected with light traps and by aerial net. A total of 538 species of macrolepidoptera were identified during the two years of the project, which is 96% of the estimated total number of species in the study area. There were 29,689 specimens collected, and 9,988 records of the number of specimens of each species captured on each date at each sample site. A list of the species recorded from the Chilcotin is provided, with a summary of provincial and global distributions. The habitats, at site series level as TEM mapped, are provided for each sample. A subset of the data was provided to the Ministry of Forests (Research Section, Williams Lake) for use in a Flamulated Owl study. A voucher collection of 2,526 moth and butterfly specimens was deposited in the Royal BC Museum. There were 25 species that are rare in BC, with most known only from the Riske Creek area.

  • Moths & Butterflies of Grizzly Peak Preserve
    2018 ANNUAL REPORT MOTHS & BUTTERFLIES OF GRIZZLY PEAK PRESERVE: Inventory Results from 2018 Prepared and Submi�ed by: DANA ROSS (Entomologist/Lepidoptera Specialist) Corvallis, Oregon SUMMARY The Grizzly Peak Preserve was sampled for butterflies and moths during May, June and October, 2018. A grand total of 218 species were documented and included 170 moths and 48 butterflies. These are presented as an annotated checklist in the appendix of this report. Butterflies and day-flying moths were sampled during daylight hours with an insect net. Nocturnal moths were collected using battery-powered backlight traps over single night periods at 10 locations during each monthly visit. While many of the documented butterflies and moths are common and widespread species, others - that include the Western Sulphur (Colias occidentalis primordialis) and the noctuid moth Eupsilia fringata - represent more locally endemic and/or rare taxa. One geometrid moth has yet to be identified and may represent an undescribed (“new”) species. Future sampling during March, April, July, August and September will capture many more Lepidoptera that have not been recorded. Once the site is more thoroughly sampled, the combined Grizzly Peak butterfly-moth fauna should total at least 450-500 species. INTRODUCTION The Order Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths) is an abundant and diverse insect group that performs essential ecological functions within terrestrial environments. As a group, these insects are major herbivores (caterpillars) and pollinators (adults), and are a critical food source for many species of birds, mammals (including bats) and predacious and parasitoid insects. With hundreds of species of butterflies and moths combined occurring at sites with ample habitat heterogeneity, a Lepidoptera inventory can provide a valuable baseline for biodiversity studies.

Insects and Other Arthropods That Feed on Aquatic and Wetland Plants. U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Research Service, Technical Bulletin No. 1870. Plant-feeding insects play an often unappreciated but important role in the dynamics of aquatic and wetland ecosystems. Natural resource managers, scientists, and others working in such ecosystems need to be able to recognize these insects and the damage they cause. This manual provides photographs and descriptions of the life stages and feeding damage of about 50 of the most common native plant-feeding insects and naturalized biological control insects found in aquatic and wetland ecosystems in the United States. Keywords: Biological control, herbivory, insect-plant interaction, insects, phytophagous, weeds. While supplies last, single copies of this publication can be obtained at no cost from USDA–ARS, Invasive Plant Research Laboratory, 3205 College Ave., Fort Lauderdale, FL 33314.

  • An Investigation of Sustainable Management of Carrot Weevil in the Holland Marsh, Ontario
    AN INVESTIGATION OF SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF CARROT WEEVIL IN THE HOLLAND MARSH, ONTARIO By Zachariah Donald Scott Telfer A Thesis Presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Environmental Sciences Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Zachariah Donald Scott Telfer, January 2017 ABSTRACT AN INVESTIGATION OF SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF CARROT WEEVIL IN THE HOLLAND MARSH, ONTARIO Zachariah Donald Scott Telfer Advisors January 2016 Drs. Cynthia Scott-Dupree and Mary Ruth McDonald The carrot weevil (CW), Listronotus oregonensis (LeConte), is a major carrot pest in Canada. Larval CW feeding renders carrot roots unmarketable. The efficacy of the CW IPM program was evaluated. Field trials and analysis of historical data determined CW monitoring did not effectively relate to CW damage and CW has likely developed phosmet resistance. Field trials showed that foliar, seed treatment, or in-furrow insecticide applications generally failed to reduce CW damage, although foliar applications of novaluron and cyantraniliprole showed some efficacy. Throughout field trials, damage from an apparent 2nd CW generation was observed. The Holland Marsh (Ontario) was surveyed for natural enemies of CW. All known natural predators and one parasitoid of CW were found although their impact on the CW population is unknown. Future CW research at the Holland Marsh should focus on improving monitoring techniques, evaluating new insecticides, and examining the feasibility of conservation biological control. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to express my deep gratitude to my co-advisors, Drs. Cynthia Scott-Dupree and Mary Ruth McDonald. Your advice and guidance throughout my degree have been incredibly helpful in both the creation of this thesis as well as my plans for the future.
