Eight species of Dragonflies, fourteen species of Butterflies, and eighteen species of beetles are identified . No threatened or endangered species were found in this survey during twenty-four hours of field observations . The area is undoubtedly home to many more species than those listed in this report. Of note, the endangered Karner Blue butterfly, Lycaeides melissa samuelis Nabakov was not seen even though it has been reported from Illinois Beach State Park, Lake County . The larval food plant, Lupinus perennis, for the blue was not observed at Waukegan. The limestone seeps habitat of the endangered Hines Emerald dragonfly, Somatochlora hineana, is not part of the ecology here . One surprise is the. breeding population of Buckeye butterflies, Junonia coenid (Hubner) which may be feeding on Purple Loosestrife . The specimens collected in this study are deposited in the insect collection at the Field Museum .

Organic Chemistry, Chemical Science and Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology, SE-10044 Stockholm, Sweden, 2014. ABSTRACT Aphrodisiac and anti-aphrodisiac pheromone production and composition in the green- veined white butterfly Pieris napi L. were investigated. Aphrodisiac pheromone biosynthesis had different time constraints in butterflies from the diapausing and directly developing generations. Effects of stable isotope incorporation in adult butterfly pheromone, in the nectar and flower volatiles of host plants from labeled substrates were measured by solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A method to fertilize plants with stable isotopes was developed and found to be an effective method to investigate the transfer of pheromone building blocks from flowering plants to butterflies. The anti-aphrodisiac methyl salicylate was not biosynthesized from phenylalanine in flowers of Alliaria petiolata. Both aphrodisiac and anti-aphrodisiac pheromones in P. napi are produced not only from resources acquired in the larval stage, but also from nutritional resources consumed in the adult stage. Males of P. napi produce the anti-aphrodisiac pheromone from both the essential amino acid L-phenylalanine and from common flower fragrance constituents.

  • Pieris Brassicae L.)
    Agronomy Research 1(2), 211–220, 2003 Plants influencing the behaviour of Large White Butterfly (Pieris brassicae L.) L. Metspalu, K. Hiiesaar and K. Jõgar Institute of Plant Protection, Estonian Agricultural University, Kreutzwaldi 64, 51014 Tartu, Estonia; e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. Large White Butterfly, Pieris brassicae L. (LWB) is one of the greatest pests of cruciferous cultures in Estonia, and, in the years of its biggest abundance, it can destroy a significant part of a crop. Many plants contain natural compounds that can repel and/or attract insects and protect neighbouring plants. This principle is used in a method known as companion planting. The aim of this paper was to establish to what extent it was possible to influence, by using companion plants, the oviposition intensity of adults of LWB on Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. alba. Cabbage plots were surrounded, as a border around garden beds, by the following plant species: Salvia horminum L. (syn. viridis L), Chrysanthemum carinatum Schousboe, Tagetes patula L., Allium cepa L. or Calendula officinalis L. Companion plants were replanted on the experimental plots in two rows. On control plots only cabbage was growing. French marigold, T. patula and painted daisy, C. carinatum were oviposition repellent to P. brassicae − compared with the control variant; butterflies laid fewer eggs on cabbage of these variants. At the same time, flowers of T. patula were attractive to adults of P. brassicae as the butterfly fed intensively on the flowers. There were no butterflies on flowers of C. carinatum, allowing us to conclude that this plant was a repellent to adults of P.

  • European Cabbageworm Pieris Brassicae
    Michigan State University’s invasive species factsheets European cabbageworm Pieris brassicae The European cabbageworm defoliates cabbage and other cruciferous crops and is related to the imported cabbageworm (P. rapae) already established in Michigan. This insect poses a concern to vegetable producers and nurseries dealing with crucifers. Michigan risk maps for exotic plant pests. Other common names large white butterfly, cabbage white butterfly Systematic position Insecta > Lepidoptera > Pieridae > Pieris brassicae (Linnaeus) Global distribution Widely distributed in Europe, Asia, Northern Africa, and Adult. (Photo: H. Arentsen, Garden Safari, Bugwood.org) Chile, South America. Quarantine status This insect has been reported from New York State (Opler et al 2009); although it is unclear if this record has been confirmed by regulatory officials. Plant hosts Cruciferous plants: Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, rape, rutabaga, turnip (Brassica spp.), horseradish (Armoracia rusticana), radish (Raphanus sativus), watercress (Nasturtium microphyllum) and garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata). Larva. (Photo from INRA HYPPZ) Biology A female butterfly lays masses of yellow eggs on underside of host leaves. After egg hatch, caterpillars feed on leaves. Young caterpillars aggregate while older caterpillars occur separately. Fully grown caterpillar leaves the plant and moves to a suitable pupation site (e.g., fences, walls, roofs or tree trunks). The pupa is anchored by a spindle of silk. Adult butterflies are active from April through October feeding on nectar from a wide array of plants. Identification Pupa. (Photo from INRA HYPPZ) Adult: Wingspan is 60-70 mm. Wings are white with Eggs: Yellow. black tips on the forewings. Females also have two black spots on each forewing. Signs of infestation Caterpillar: Up to 60 mm in length; body hairy and Presence of egg mass or larvae on leaves of crucifers.

Its pollen sacs (pollinia) are often found attached to the appendages of bees, wasps, butterflies, and other insects that visit milkweed for its nectar (Judd, 1955; Matheson, 1951 ; Miiller, 1883). In the summer of 1966 and 1967 I collected numerous pierid and nymphalid butterflies associated with milkweed plants in Michigan in order to examine them for their pollen-carrying capability.
