Household Insects of the Rocky Mountain States
Household Insects of the Rocky Mountain States Bulletin 557A January 1994 Colorado State University, University of Wyoming, Montana State University Issued in furtherance of Cooperative Extension work, Acts of May 8 and June 30, 1914, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Milan Rewerts, interim director of Cooperative Extension, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado. Cooperative Extension programs are available to all without discrimination. No endorsement of products named is intended nor is criticism implied of products not mentioned. FOREWORD This publication provides information on the identification, general biology and management of insects associated with homes in the Rocky Mountain/High Plains region. Records from Colorado, Wyoming and Montana were used as primary reference for the species to include. Mention of more specific localities (e.g., extreme southwestern Colorado, Front Range) is provided when the insects show more restricted distribution. Line drawings are provided to assist in identification. In addition, there are several lists based on habits (e.g., flying), size, and distribution in the home. These are found in tables and appendices throughout this manual. Control strategies are the choice of the home dweller. Often simple practices can be effective, once the biology and habits of the insect are understood. Many of the insects found in homes are merely casual invaders that do not reproduce nor pose a threat to humans, stored food or furnishings. These may often originate from conditions that exist outside the dwelling. Other insects found in homes may be controlled by sanitation and household maintenance, such as altering potential breeding areas (e.g., leaky faucets, spilled food, effective screening). -

Key to the Adults of the Most Common Forensic Species of Diptera in South America
390 Key to the adults of the most common forensic species ofCarvalho Diptera & Mello-Patiu in South America Claudio José Barros de Carvalho1 & Cátia Antunes de Mello-Patiu2 1Department of Zoology, Universidade Federal do Paraná, C.P. 19020, Curitiba-PR, 81.531–980, Brazil. [email protected] 2Department of Entomology, Museu Nacional do Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro-RJ, 20940–040, Brazil. [email protected] ABSTRACT. Key to the adults of the most common forensic species of Diptera in South America. Flies (Diptera, blow flies, house flies, flesh flies, horse flies, cattle flies, deer flies, midges and mosquitoes) are among the four megadiverse insect orders. Several species quickly colonize human cadavers and are potentially useful in forensic studies. One of the major problems with carrion fly identification is the lack of taxonomists or available keys that can identify even the most common species sometimes resulting in erroneous identification. Here we present a key to the adults of 12 families of Diptera whose species are found on carrion, including human corpses. Also, a summary for the most common families of forensic importance in South America, along with a key to the most common species of Calliphoridae, Muscidae, and Fanniidae and to the genera of Sarcophagidae are provided. Drawings of the most important characters for identification are also included. KEYWORDS. Carrion flies; forensic entomology; neotropical. RESUMO. Chave de identificação para as espécies comuns de Diptera da América do Sul de interesse forense. Diptera (califorídeos, sarcofagídeos, motucas, moscas comuns e mosquitos) é a uma das quatro ordens megadiversas de insetos. Diversas espécies desta ordem podem rapidamente colonizar cadáveres humanos e são de utilidade potencial para estudos de entomologia forense. -

Proceedings of the Third International Conference on Invasive Spartina Chapter 4: Spartina Control and Management BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF SPARTINA 1 1 2 F. S. GREVSTAD ,M.S.WECKER , AND D. R. STRONG 1 Olympic Natural Resources Center, University of Washington, P.O. Box 1628, Forks, WA 98331; [email protected] 2 Department of Evolotion and Ecology, University of California, Davis, CA 95616 Biological control using introduced natural enemies can be an effective approach to the long term control of widespread weeds. A biological control program against Spartina spp. is underway in Washington State, where more than 10,000 hectares (ha) of intertidal mudflat are affected by Spartina alterniflora and Spartina anglica. Releases of the planthopper Prokelisia marginata have been made into Willapa Bay each year since 2000 and into Puget Sound since 2003. Prior to introducing this insect, rigorous host specificity testing and a review by the Technical Advisory Group on Biological Control of Weeds confirmed that the risk to non-target plants was minute. Populations of the biocontrol agent were initially slow to establish and grow. However, early problems with high winter mortality have been remedied through a combination of improved release site selection and the use of cold-hardy east coast biotypes. At least two populations in Willapa Bay are well established and expanding. At a localized scale, we have measured 50 percent reductions of Spartina biomass and 90 percent reduction in viable seed set due to P. marginata. The full extent of the impact will only be known with time. While the use of biological control in California may pose a risk to the closely related native Spartina foliosa, it would be an excellent option in other other parts of the world where Spartina has invaded and where there are no closely related native Spartina species. -

(Poaceae)] ears in the Americas. Four of these species are sweet corn pests in America north of Mexico: Chaetopsis massyla (Walker), Euxesta annonae (Fabricius), E. eluta Loew, and E. stigmatias Loew. Adults of these four species appear at the beginning of each season following maize-free periods, suggesting other plants act as food sources for maintenance and development of these flies. Studies were conducted in Florida, USA, to evaluate the suitability of several crop and non-crop plants commonly occurring near maize plantings as developmental hosts for these flies. Laboratory trials were conducted using laboratory colonies of C. -
