  • Insect Survey of Four Longleaf Pine Preserves
    A SURVEY OF THE MOTHS, BUTTERFLIES, AND GRASSHOPPERS OF FOUR NATURE CONSERVANCY PRESERVES IN SOUTHEASTERN NORTH CAROLINA Stephen P. Hall and Dale F. Schweitzer November 15, 1993 ABSTRACT Moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers were surveyed within four longleaf pine preserves owned by the North Carolina Nature Conservancy during the growing season of 1991 and 1992. Over 7,000 specimens (either collected or seen in the field) were identified, representing 512 different species and 28 families. Forty-one of these we consider to be distinctive of the two fire- maintained communities principally under investigation, the longleaf pine savannas and flatwoods. An additional 14 species we consider distinctive of the pocosins that occur in close association with the savannas and flatwoods. Twenty nine species appear to be rare enough to be included on the list of elements monitored by the North Carolina Natural Heritage Program (eight others in this category have been reported from one of these sites, the Green Swamp, but were not observed in this study). Two of the moths collected, Spartiniphaga carterae and Agrotis buchholzi, are currently candidates for federal listing as Threatened or Endangered species. Another species, Hemipachnobia s. subporphyrea, appears to be endemic to North Carolina and should also be considered for federal candidate status. With few exceptions, even the species that seem to be most closely associated with savannas and flatwoods show few direct defenses against fire, the primary force responsible for maintaining these communities. Instead, the majority of these insects probably survive within this region due to their ability to rapidly re-colonize recently burned areas from small, well-dispersed refugia.

In other words, Abundance instead of following a gradient of agricultural occupation (e.g. crop sizes around sample sites) the composition Assemblage structure of these extremely polyphagous insects is more clearly shaped by the latitudinal gradient, in which temperature Looper moths and precipitation are better predictors.

Traps baited with floral chemicals on the island of Hawaii captured several pest moth species. Chrysodeixis eriosoma (Doubleday) (green garden looper), Au- tographa biloba (Doubleday) (bi-lobed looper), and Mythimna unipuncta (Haworth) (true armyworm), all Noctuidae, as well as Hymenia recurvalis (L.) (beet webworm), a Crambidae, were trapped with phenylacetaldehyde (PAA). There was no response by moths to β-myrcene (BM), methyl salicylate (MS), cis jasmone (CJ), methyl-2-methoxy benzoate (MMB), 2-phenylethanol (2PE), or linalool (LIN) when these chemicals were tested singly. When other floral chemicals were presented in traps with PAA, numbers of C. eriosoma captured were increased by BM, MS, 2PE or MMB. Numbers of A. biloba and Peridroma saucia (Hübner) (variegated cutworm) were increased by including BM with PAA in traps. Numbers of M. unipuncta were increased by BM or 2PE, and numbers of H. recurvalis were increased by MMB or LIN, presented with PAA. Both sexes of these five species of moths were trapped with floral lures, most females captured were mated, and many females possessed mature eggs.

SPITSYN* and Nikita I. BOLOTOV Federal Center for Integrated Arctic Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 163000, Arkhangelsk, Russia. * Corresponding author, V.M. Spitsyn, E-mail: [email protected] Received: 31. May 2019 / Accepted: 23. September 2019 / Available online: 27. September 2019 / Printed: June 2020 Abstract. The Lepidoptera fauna of the Kolguev Island is poorly known, with available samples being primarily collected from its southern area around the Bugrino Village. Here we report the first record of Syngrapha diasema from Kolguev, which is also the first Noctuidae member being accounted in this fauna. In total, 20 Lepidoptera species are recorded from this island. Key words: Biogeography, Arctic islands, Barents Sea Region, moths, Noctuidae, Plusiinae, new records. The Lepidoptera fauna of the Kolguev Island includes 19 species, although this low value is highly underestimated, with additional records of new species being quite possible (Kullberg et al. 2019). Several moth and butterfly families were still not reported from Kolguev, e.g. Noctuidae. There are two papers describing ecology and phenology of butter- flies and one tiger moth species on this Arctic island (Bolotov 2012, Bolotov et al. 2015). Despite the fact that the Kolguev Island is completely covered by dwarf-shrub and sedge-moss tundra ecosystems, taiga forest moth and butter- fly species are prevailed in its fauna (Kullberg et al. 2018). This study aims to describe the first record of Syngrapha di- asema (Boisduval, 1829) from Kolguev, a first Noctuidae spe- cies encountered in this insular fauna.

  • Plusiinae (Noctuidae) at Flowers
    Journal of the Lepidopterists' Society 35(3), 1981,245-246 PLUSIINAE (NOCTUIDAE) AT FLOWERS Literature on Lepidoptera rarely elaborate on the actual methods employed in cap­ turing moths, especially Plusiinae. Most collecting for noctuids involves trapping, uti­ lizing ultraviolet or mercury vapor lights, or bait; however, my experiences with these methods have resulted in relatively few captures of plusiines over my years of col­ lecting in Michigan. I first became acquainted with some of the northern Plusiinae in 1952, while collecting moths at Joe-Pye weed flowers, Eupatorium sp., at dusk (with the aid of a flashlight and cyanide jar) at Copper Harbor, Keweenaw County, Michigan. According to the late Sherman Moore (personal communication), many of the Plusiinae taken at that time were either new county records or only the second record for the state. It was this experience that revealed to me that collecting at flowers could be very productive for Plusiinae; but, it wasn't until the late 1960's that I again tried this method of collecting these interesting moths in northern Michigan. The work of Dr. Thomas D. Eichlin also inspired me to make a special effort to collect plusiines and attempt to learn more of their habits and ecology. From 1969 to 1977 I collected these elusive moths at flowers over a total of 30 evenings in four widely separated northern Michigan counties: Chippewa, Keweenaw, Otsego, Schoolcraft. My collecting experiences extended from 17 July to 6 August, with most of the collecting occurring during the last week of July. I found the most productive period each evening to extend from approximately 2045 to 2215 EDST, although some loopers appeared at 2030 and probably continued to fly later than the time I spent there.

Received: 10.01.2020 Revised: 04.02.2020 Accepted: 08.03.2020 Abstract Lepidoptera family of the Lower Amudarya State Biosphere Reserve has not been adequately studied yet. This research was carried out in order to determine the species composition of Lepidoptera family of the Lower Amudarya State Biosphere Reserve. The Noctuoidea group is a major species included in the Lepidoptera species. The research materials were collected in four refuges (Beruni, Kegeyli, Sultan, Amudarya) from March 2017 to November 2018. A list of species has been compiled in this region for two years. The obtained results show that in the studied area, 1,000 types of moths were collected. It was found out that they belong to the Noctuoidea family. DRL lamp handles were used for catching the moths. Red wine and sugar solutions were also used to attract moth butterflies.
