Economic thresholds for white grubs vary due to body size and feeding intensity: 3-5 per ft2 for May/June beetle, 8-10 per ft2 for masked chafer, and 30-50 ft2 for black turfgrass Ataenius. To determine density, cut a 6 x 6 inch square, peel the sod back, and count grubs in the soil and roots. Biological control using beneficial nematodes and fungi can help maintain grub populations below economic thresholds; however, when damage is detected, insecticides may be necessary. Apply systemic insecticides (Acelepryn, Arena, and Merit) in early summer before eggs hatch to allow adequate time for plant uptake. Contact insecticides should be applied in mid summer through early fall before the grubs move deeper in the soil zone to spend the winter. Contact insecticides include broad-spectrum products such as Dylox and Sevin, and more selective or reduced-risk products such as Mach 2 and Concern. Before applying insecticides, it is critical to reduce the thatch bugguide.net layer to no more than ½ inch deep or aerate the soil to White grub larvae (top) have three obvious pairs of legs enhance chemical penetration, and to apply ½ to ¾ inches and are almost always found curled in a C-shape.

EENY-170 Ladybirds, Ladybird beetles, Lady Beetles, Ladybugs of Florida, Coleoptera: Coccinellidae1 J. H. Frank R. F. Mizell, III2 Introduction Ladybird is a name that has been used in England for more than 600 years for the European beetle Coccinella septempunctata. As knowledge about insects increased, the name became extended to all its relatives, members of the beetle family Coccinellidae. Of course these insects are not birds, but butterflies are not flies, nor are dragonflies, stoneflies, mayflies, and fireflies, which all are true common names in folklore, not invented names. The lady for whom they were named was "the Virgin Mary," and common names in other European languages have the same association (the German name Marienkafer translates Figure 1. Adult Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus, the to "Marybeetle" or ladybeetle). Prose and poetry sevenspotted lady beetle.

  • Bacteria Associated with Larvae and Adults of the Asian Longhorned Beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)1
    Bacteria Associated with Larvae and Adults of the Asian Longhorned Beetle (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae)1 John D. Podgwaite2, Vincent D' Amico3, Roger T. Zerillo, and Heidi Schoenfeldt USDA Forest Service, Northern Research Station, Hamden CT 06514 USA J. Entomol. Sci. 48(2): 128·138 (April2013) Abstract Bacteria representing several genera were isolated from integument and alimentary tracts of live Asian longhorned beetle, Anaplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky), larvae and adults. Insects examined were from infested tree branches collected from sites in New York and Illinois. Staphylococcus sciuri (Kloos) was the most common isolate associated with adults, from 13 of 19 examined, whereas members of the Enterobacteriaceae dominated the isolations from larvae. Leclercia adecarboxylata (Leclerc), a putative pathogen of Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata (Say), was found in 12 of 371arvae examined. Several opportunistic human pathogens, including S. xylosus (Schleifer and Kloos), S. intermedius (Hajek), S. hominis (Kloos and Schleifer), Pantoea agglomerans (Ewing and Fife), Serratia proteamaculans (Paine and Stansfield) and Klebsiella oxytoca (Fiugge) also were isolated from both larvae and adults. One isolate, found in 1 adult and several larvae, was identified as Tsukamurella inchonensis (Yassin) also an opportunistic human pathogen and possibly of Korean origin .. We have no evi­ dence that any of the microorganisms isolated are pathogenic for the Asian longhorned beetle. Key Words Asian longhorned beetle, Anaplophora glabripennis, bacteria The Asian longhorned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis (Motschulsky) a pest native to China and Korea, often has been found associated with wood- packing ma­ terial arriving in ports of entry to the United States. The pest has many hardwood hosts, particularly maples (Acer spp.), and currently is established in isolated popula­ tions in at least 3 states- New York, NJ and Massachusetts (USDA-APHIS 201 0).

This information is not only important for conservation efforts, but also has important implications for sustainable agricultural practices. Associated biodiversity can provide ecosystem services like pollination and pest control, but because organisms may respond differently to the unique environmental filters of specific urban landscapes, it is valuable to compare regions that have different abiotic conditions and urbanization histories. In this study, we compared the abundance and diversity of ladybird beetles within urban gardens in California and Michigan, USA. We asked what species are shared, and what species are unique to urban regions. Moreover, we asked how beetle diversity is influenced by the amount and rate of urbanization surrounding sampled urban gardens. We found that the abundance and diversity of beetles, particularly of unique species, respond in opposite directions to urbanization: ladybirds increased with urbanization in California, but decreased with urbanization in Michigan.

    Close enCounters With the environment What’s Eating You? Bedbugs Revisited (Cimex lectularius) Devika Patel, MD; Dirk M. Elston, MD he common bedbug, Cimex lectularius, is a member of the family Cimicidae and the genus TCimex. Belonging to the order Hemiptera, its relatives include reduviid bugs as well as common garden pests such as stink bugs, aphids, and cicadas.1 Bedbugs are distributed in temperate and tropical regions worldwide.2 In the last 10 years, the number of US households affected by these insects has mark- edly increased3 and bedbugs have become a serious urban pest worldwide.4 This resurgence of bedbug infestations has renewed interest in the biology and toxicology of these insects.5 CUTIS Overview Bedbug anatomy. Adult bedbugs are wingless, roughly oval in shape, flattened, and approximately 5- to 6-mm long.
