  • White Grubs (Japanese Beetle, May/June Beetle, Masked Chafer, Green June Beetle, European Chafer, Asiatic Garden Beetle, Oriental Beetle, Black Turfgrass Ataenius)
    White Grubs (Japanese Beetle, May/June Beetle, Masked Chafer, Green June Beetle, European Chafer, Asiatic Garden Beetle, Oriental Beetle, Black Turfgrass Ataenius) There are 8 different white grubs that are commonly known to cause turfgrass plant damage. They include the Japanese beetle, May and June beetle, masked chafer, green June beetle, European chafer, Asiatic garden beetle, oriental beetle, and black turfgrass ataenius. They all do the most damage in their larval stage, although some adults can also cause damage. Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica) Japanese beetles are concentrated mostly in the northeastern and Mid Atlantic states. The Japanese beetle larvae are the primary cause of turf damage. They feed on turfgrass roots, which causes yellowing and a wilting, thinning appearance to the plants. Turf that has been damaged can easily be rolled or lifted back from the soil because the grubs have eaten through the fibrous roots. Typical Japanese beetle raster pattern.

  • Evolutionarily Recent, Insertional Fission of Mitochondrial Cox2 Into Complementary Genes in Bilaterian Metazoa Przemyslaw Szafranski
    Szafranski BMC Genomics (2017) 18:269 DOI 10.1186/s12864-017-3626-5 RESEARCHARTICLE Open Access Evolutionarily recent, insertional fission of mitochondrial cox2 into complementary genes in bilaterian Metazoa Przemyslaw Szafranski Abstract Background: Mitochondrial genomes (mtDNA) of multicellular animals (Metazoa) with bilateral symmetry (Bilateria) are compact and usually carry 13 protein-coding genes for subunits of three respiratory complexes and ATP synthase. However, occasionally reported exceptions to this typical mtDNA organization prompted speculation that, as in protists and plants, some bilaterian mitogenomes may continue to lose their canonical genes, or may even acquire new genes. To shed more light on this phenomenon, a PCR-based screen was conducted to assess fast-evolving mtDNAs of apocritan Hymenoptera (Arthropoda, Insecta) for genomic rearrangements that might be associated with the modification of mitochondrial gene content. Results: Sequencing of segmental inversions, identified in the screen, revealed that the cytochrome oxidase subunit II gene (cox2)ofCampsomeris (Dielis) (Scoliidae) was split into two genes coding for COXIIA and COXIIB. The COXII-derived complementary polypeptides apparently form a heterodimer, have reduced hydrophobicity compared with the majority of mitogenome-encoded COX subunits, and one of them, COXIIB, features increased content of Cys residues. Analogous cox2 fragmentation is known only in two clades of protists (chlorophycean algae and alveolates), where it has been associated with piecewise relocation of this gene into the nucleus. In Campsomeris mtDNA, cox2a and cox2b loci are separated by a 3-kb large cluster of several antiparallel overlapping ORFs, one of which, qnu, seems to encode a nuclease that may have played a role in cox2 fission.

Green June beetle, Cotinis nitida, adults are actively flying around managed and/or unmanaged grassy areas, and ‘bumping’ into people and objects. Adults are 3/4 to 1.0 inch long, velvety-green, and tinged with yellow-brown Fig 1. Green June beetle adult (Author--Raymond coloration (Figure 1). Green stripes with yellow-orange Cloyd, KSU) margins extend lengthwise on the front wings. The underside of the body is distinctly shiny and metallic green or gold. Adults resemble ‘dive bombers’ flying around for several weeks in July. Green June beetle has a one-year life cycle, and overwinters as a mature larva or grub. Adults typically emerge in late-June and are active during the day, resting at night on plants, in thatch, or in compost. Adults produce a sound similar to that of bumble bees. Adults will feed on ripening fruits (Figure 2) and may occasionally feed on plant leaves. The male beetles swarm in the morning, Fig 2.

Dosal body Cotinis mutabilis dorsal view matte/velvet, colouration ranging from green to occasionally black or plum. Elytral margins of mid Photographer: disc sometimes tan/yellowing. Body metallic green ventrally, or rarely black or brownish. Elytra and Pia Scanlon Pronotum appearing smooth, nearly completely lacking punctations. Pronotum projecting basomedially over the scutellum, nearly completely concealing it from view. Clypeus with apex emarginate/subquadrate, and bearing a frontal denticle (clypeal horn). Frons developed into a forward projecting longitudonal process. Mesepimeron visible from above. Posthumeral emargination of the elytra distinct. Forwardly projecting mesometasternal process present. Cotinis mutabilis lateral view Related and Similar Species Photographer: Pia Scanlon The genus Cotinis contains 29 species across 3 Subgenera. The typical subgenus Cotinis contains most of the species. Cotinis is the only member of Gemnetini tribe that contains a frontal clypeal horn. All species of Cotinis also lack dorsal scales, that can be present in other tribal members. Considerable variation in morphological features have been recognised in Cotinis mutabilis and Cotinis nitida. The two species can be separated frome each other by differences in body length (C. Cotinis mutabilis ventral view nitida: 15-27mm, C. mutabilis: 17-34mm), pygidium colouration (C. nitida: bicoloured with an apical Photographer: testaceous area, C. mutabilis: unicolorous), and metafemur colouration (C. nitida: pale, C. mutabilis: Pia Scanlon same colour as tibia). Biological Data Commonly called the Figeater Beetle or Green fruit beetle, Cotinis mutabilis is an occasional pest of soft fruit including figs, plums, peaches, and apricots.
