Full Invertebrate List (2014 to 2020) FULL INVERTEBRATE LIST (2014 TO 2020) This list is an inventory of all invertebrates thus far identified from surveys carried out at Three Hagges Woodmeadow between 2014 and 2020. The list contains 1,163 species (including a few that could not be identified beyond genus- level). For simplification and ease of reference, genera and species are arranged in alphabetical order and subgenera are omitted. Current nomenclature is accepted, except in problematic cases. This list only mentions sensu lato records when sensu stricto records are unavailable for any particular species. ‘C’ or ‘L’ are used for all species whose national (British) or regional (Yorkshire) statuses are common or local (or equivalent statuses), including common or irregular migrant species. ‘U’ is used where the national or regional status is unknown due to insufficient data being available; and ‘n/a’ is used where an identification is not down to species level, hence, a status allocation is not applicable. ‘RS’ denotes regionally scarce species, i.e. species which are known to be scarce in Yorkshire, or species which might be considered regionally scarce based on such factors as scarcity of available habitat, being on the extremity of their national range, or paucity of records etc. ‘SPIE’ denotes Species of Principal Importance in England (formerly known as UK BAP Species). ‘JNCC’ indicates a current JNCC national status classification of Notable or higher status, e.g. Red Data Book (or equivalent IUCN-based statuses). Thanks are due to Bill Ely for providing regional (Yorkshire) statuses for parasitic wasps in Braconidae and Ichneumonidae. In cases where invertebrates were recorded via overnight light-trapping or pitfall-trapping, the earliest date is given in the ‘First Record’ column. It is of course possible that the individual may have been captured after midnight. FIRST NAT. REG.

  • Bon Echo Provincial Park
    BON ECHO PROVINCIAL PARK One Malaise trap was deployed at Bon Echo Provincial Park in 2014 (44.89405, -77.19691 278m ASL; Figure 1). This trap collected arthropods for twenty weeks from May 7 – September 24, 2014. All 10 Malaise trap samples were processed; every other sample was analyzed using the individual specimen protocol while the second half was analyzed via bulk analysis. A total of 2559 BINs were obtained. Over half the BINs captured were flies (Diptera), followed by bees, ants and wasps (Hymenoptera), moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), and beetles (Coleoptera; Figure 2). In total, 547 arthropod species were named, representing 22.9% of the BINs from the site (Appendix 1). All BINs were assigned at least to Figure 1. Malaise trap deployed at Bon Echo family, and 57.2% were assigned to a genus (Appendix Provincial Park in 2014. 2). Specimens collected from Bon Echo represent 223 different families and 651 genera.

To assess its efficacy against the pest H. halys and to validate the potential risks for non-target species in a realistic field setting, inundative releases were conducted over three consecutive years in four fruit orchards in Switzerland and Italy. In total, more than 4300 A. bifasciatus females were released, which was equivalent to 11,000 to 26,000 females per hectare, depending on distances between trees in each orchard.

  • Sciomyzidae Et Phaeomyiidae De La Manche. Premier
    Sciomyzidae et Phaeomyiidae de la Manche Premier catalogue Parmi les 132 familles de diptères dénombrées en Europe, celle des Sciomyzidae n’évoque sans doute que peu de choses aux fidèles lecteurs de L’Argiope. Dans notre faune, aucun de ses représentants n’est véritablement remarquable, ni même connu sous un nom populaire. Non floricoles, ces insectes à faible mobilité sont pour le moins discrets, et seul un observateur attentif et patient saura alors les déceler dans leur milieu de reproduction, notamment du fait d’un comportement singulier : les sciomyzes Sepedon sphegea se tiennent habituellement dans la végétation basse la tête orientée vers le bas ! Dans le petit monde des diptéristes français, les sciomyzes ont en revanche été rendus populaires par une importante publication. Dernier numéro en date consacré à une famille de diptères dans la série Faune de France, est paru en 1989 les « Diptères Sciomyzidae Euro-méditerranéens ». Plus de cinquante ans après SÉGUY (1934), Jean-Claude VALA présente dans cet ouvrage un état des connaissances détaillé quant à la biologie générale de ces insectes et pour de nombreuses espèces. Plusieurs espèces de sciomyzes ont été notamment étudiées de près en raison de leur importance dans la lutte contre certaines maladies humaines (distomatoses). En effet, certains parasites trématodes connus chez l’homme ont un cycle de développement qui nécessite un hôte intermédiaire spécifique parmi les mollusques aquatiques. Parasitoïdes ou prédateurs des mollusques aquatiques et terrestres, les sciomyzes s’opposent alors efficacement au développement de ces parasites. Paradoxalement, alors que la publication de VALA , en français, rend l’étude des sciomyzes beaucoup plus abordable que pour d’autres familles de mouches, ce travail n’a pas semblé entraîner un engouement particulier de la part des entomologistes amateurs puisque peu d’études ou de catalogues ont vu le jour depuis cette parution.

  • Checklist of the Spider Wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) of British Columbia
    Checklist of the Spider Wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) of British Columbia Scott Russell Spencer Entomological Collection Beaty Biodiversity Museum, UBC Vancouver, B.C. The family Pompilidae is a cosmopolitan group of some 5000 species of wasps which prey almost exclusively on spiders, giving rise to their common name - the spider wasps. While morphologically monotonous (Evans 1951b), these species range in size from a few millimetres long to among the largest of all hymenopterans; genus Pepsis, the tarantula hawks may reach up to 64 mm long in some tropical species (Vardy 2000). B.C.'s largest pompilid, Calopompilus pyrrhomelas, reaches a more modest body length of 19 mm among specimens held in our collection. In North America, pompilids are known primarily from hot, arid areas, although some species are known from the Yukon Territories and at least one species can overwinter above the snowline in the Colorado mountains (Evans 1997). In most species, the females hunt, attack, and paralyse spiders before laying one egg on (or more rarely, inside) the spider. Prey preferences in Pompilidae are generally based on size, but some groups are known to specialize, such as genus Ageniella on jumping spiders (Araneae: Salticidae) and Tachypompilus on wolf spiders (Araneae: Lycosidae) (Evans 1953). The paralysed host is then deposited in a burrow, which may have been appropriated from the spider, but is typically prepared before hunting from existing structures such as natural crevices, beetle tunnels, or cells belonging to other solitary wasps. While most pompilids follow this general pattern of behaviour, in the Nearctic region wasps of the genus Evagetes and the subfamily Ceropalinae exhibit cleptoparasitism (Evans 1953).

The morphological variability and different modes of life result from beetle ability to adapt to all kinds of habitats. Terrestrial and soil living forms dominate. Beetles undergo a complete metamorphosis and most species live in soil during at least one of the stages. They include predators, herbivores, parasites and sapro- phagans, playing a fairly significant role in nature and in man’s economy. Our knowledge of beetles, even of the common species, is insufficient. In spite of the fact that the beetle fauna of Central Europe has been studied relatively well, the knowledge accumulated is generally limited to the adults, while the immature stages have not been adequately studied.
