ISBN 1084-8819 This publication and others in the series may be ordered from the C.P. Gillette Museum of Arthropod Diversity, Department of Bioagricultural Sciences and Pest Management Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO 80523 Abstract A list of 1531 species ofLepidoptera is presented, collected over 15 years (1988 to 2002), in eleven southern West Virginia counties. A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

BIOLOGICAL RESOURCES The parks in the Study Area are home to a wide range of biological habitats and species. This EIR section (1) describes the setting section for biological resources within the Study Area, (2) evaluates the potential impacts to biological resources related to implementation of the Wildfire Hazard Reduction and Resource Management Plan (the proposed project), and recommends appropriate mitigation measures where necessary. The reader should note that this section focuses on biological resources and conditions that are particularly relevant to the issue of wildfire hazard reduction. In the following developed shoreline parks, wildfire hazards are very low and fuel modification activities are not expected to be undertaken: Point Isabel; Middle Harbor Shoreline Park; Robert W. Crown Memorial State Beach; and Martin Luther King Jr. Regional Shoreline. Vegetation in these shoreline parks is confined to irrigated landscaping, coastal strand, or coastal salt marsh which do not provide highly combustible fuels nor would they be subject to wildfire conditions.

  • Ceanothus Silk Moth by Joe Barnwell
    Ceanothus Silk Moth By Joe Barnwell The RVOEP is home to the Ceanothus silk moth, Hyalophora euryalus, one of nature's more impressive insects. The moth itself is not too often seen, as it has a short life span and chilly pre- dawn spring habits. It is the cocoon that usually draws human attention. These cocoons can be quite noticeable attached lengthwise to bare winter shrubbery. They are the size and shape of a small chicken egg, and shine a light gray in the sun. Their silken armor is very tough, and they have been used for millennia by Pomoan and other California Indian groups as ceremonial rattles. The cocoons would be gathered, their occupants evicted, and gravel inserted for sound. They they would be sewn onto ceremonial dress or glued onto a handle to make a rattle. The Eastern Pomo name for both cocoon and rattle is "maa-yoy!". The Saturniidae (silk moth) family is a hymn to the glory and mystery of life. There are 65 species of these moths in North America, 15 in California. They are all large, strikingly patterned creatures, and include the Luna and Cecropia moths of the East Coast. The Ceanothus silk moth is the western version of the Cecropia. It has 4 1/2 inch wingspan, and its reddish-brown uppersides are marked with white, crescent-shaped slashes and a small eyespot in the corner of the upper wing. Its naked green caterpillar eats and molts its way through the summer to an eventual length of four inches and develops yellow protuberances on its segments in its last stages.

  • Forest Insect Conditions in the United States 1966
    FOREST INSECT CONDITIONS IN THE UNITED STATES 1966 FOREST SERVICE ' U.S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE Foreword This report is the 18th annual account of the scope, severity, and trend of the more important forest insect infestations in the United States, and of the programs undertaken to check resulting damage and loss. It is compiled primarily for managers of public and private forest lands, but has become useful to students and others interested in outbreak trends and in the location and extent of pest populations. The report also makes possible n greater awareness of the insect prob­ lem and of losses to the timber resource. The opening section highlights the more important conditions Nationwide, and each section that pertains to a forest region is prefaced by its own brief summary. Under the Federal Forest Pest Control Act, a sharing by Federal and State Governments the costs of surveys and control is resulting in a stronger program of forest insect and disease detection and evaluation surveys on non-Federal lands. As more States avail themselves of this financial assistance from the Federal Government, damage and loss from forest insects will become less. The screening and testing of nonpersistent pesticides for use in suppressing forest defoliators continued in 1966. The carbamate insecticide Zectran in a pilot study of its effectiveness against the spruce budworm in Montana and Idaho appeared both successful and safe. More extensive 'tests are planned for 1967. Since only the smallest of the spray droplets reach the target, plans call for reducing the spray to a fine mist. The course of the fine spray, resulting from diffusion and atmospheric currents, will be tracked by lidar, a radar-laser combination.

Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Dept. Agriculture; 26 p. September 1997 Specimens representing 19 orders and 169 arthropod families (mostly insects) were collected from greenleaf manzanita brushfields in northeastern California and identified to species whenever possible. More than500 taxa below the family level wereinventoried, and each listing includes relative frequency of encounter, life stages collected, and dominant role in the greenleaf manzanita community. Specific host relationships are included for some predators and parasitoids. Herbivores, predators, and parasitoids comprised the majority (80 percent) of identified insects and related taxa.

  • CHECKLIST of WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea)
    WISCONSIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY SPECIAL PUBLICATION No. 6 JUNE 2018 CHECKLIST OF WISCONSIN MOTHS (Superfamilies Mimallonoidea, Drepanoidea, Lasiocampoidea, Bombycoidea, Geometroidea, and Noctuoidea) Leslie A. Ferge,1 George J. Balogh2 and Kyle E. Johnson3 ABSTRACT A total of 1284 species representing the thirteen families comprising the present checklist have been documented in Wisconsin, including 293 species of Geometridae, 252 species of Erebidae and 584 species of Noctuidae. Distributions are summarized using the six major natural divisions of Wisconsin; adult flight periods and statuses within the state are also reported. Examples of Wisconsin’s diverse native habitat types in each of the natural divisions have been systematically inventoried, and species associated with specialized habitats such as peatland, prairie, barrens and dunes are listed. INTRODUCTION This list is an updated version of the Wisconsin moth checklist by Ferge & Balogh (2000). A considerable amount of new information from has been accumulated in the 18 years since that initial publication. Over sixty species have been added, bringing the total to 1284 in the thirteen families comprising this checklist. These families are estimated to comprise approximately one-half of the state’s total moth fauna. Historical records of Wisconsin moths are relatively meager. Checklists including Wisconsin moths were compiled by Hoy (1883), Rauterberg (1900), Fernekes (1906) and Muttkowski (1907). Hoy's list was restricted to Racine County, the others to Milwaukee County. Records from these publications are of historical interest, but unfortunately few verifiable voucher specimens exist. Unverifiable identifications and minimal label data associated with older museum specimens limit the usefulness of this information. Covell (1970) compiled records of 222 Geometridae species, based on his examination of specimens representing at least 30 counties.
