However, soldier beetles do not have a light-producing organ like their cousins. In Iowa, we usually see the goldenrod soldier beetle, also called the Pennsylvania soldier beetle, Chauliognathus pensylvanicus. They start showing up in numbers in August and September. Some gardeners may become concerned when they see a large num- ber of beetles landing in their garden but soldier beetles are beneficial. The larvae feed on other insects including the eggs and larvae of some garden pests. Adults feed on pollen and nectar. They can resemble bees when moving from flower to flower and because of their frequent contact with flowers, are important pollinators. Flowers also seem to encourage the romantic side of soldier beetles as they are often found mating on them. Soldier beetles protect themselves by secreting an offensive chemical to make them less tasty to would be predators. Their yellow color is also thought to be a warning signal to predators that they don't taste good. Since soldier beetles are beneficial and harmless, it is unnecessary to control them. If they accidentally make it inside the house, just help them back outside where they can find a nice flower.

Thank you!! AUGUST 2016 ISSUE GARDEN TO TABLE NEWSLETTER PAGE 3 Food Pantry Project This summer the Master Gardener program partnered with Iowa State University SNAP-Ed program to help support the latter's food insecurity relief efforts. One main goal of this partnership is to make fruits and vegetables more accessible for Iowa families experiencing poverty. According to the Food Bank of Iowa, 396,620 Iowans live at or below the poverty line and 1 in 8 Iowans are considered to be food insecure, which means they are without reliable access to a sufficient quantity of affordable, nutritious food. Effects of hunger are wide spread. Food insecurity can put people at higher risk for chronic disease. It can affect mental health with increased anxiety and aggression. For children, being food insecure has been shown to impair academic development. Gardening enthusiast like Master Gardeners can play an important role in helping to make healthy foods more accessible in their communities. We can grow food to donate to area food pantries, provide gardening education for people wanting to grow their own food and forge partnerships with community groups to develop projects such as community gardens. One exciting project we have going on in Rock Rapids this summer is a food pantry garden. Vegetables we are growing at the ISU Demonstration Garden located at the Lyon County Fairgrounds are being donated to several area food pantries. So far this season we have harvested 560 pounds of produce. Master Gardeners in Lyon County received funding from monies made available through SNAP in the form of mini-grants. The funding helped Master Gardeners start up pantry gardens or, in our case, helped purchase needed equipment to harvest, weigh, wash and distribute the produce to food pantries. If you are interested in growing food for food pantries, a few things to keep in mind—grow popular, well-know varieties that are hearty and will store and transport well. Talk with pantry staff to confirm they take fresh produce and the best time to delivery it. Plan to deliver the produce as most pantries are small with limited staff and/or volunteers and can’t do pickups. Also, be sure to use appropriate food safety procedures while in the garden and getting the produce washed and bagged for delivery. Work with the pantry staff on the front-end of planning your pantry garden to ensure a successful partnership. One last lesson learned from working with a pantry garden this summer—having help is a good thing!! Feel free to contact me with questions if you are interested in starting a pantry garden or want to donate your extra garden fare.

  • Swarth, C. Et Al. the 2007 Jug Bay Bioblitz Reliort. 2008
    2007 Jug Bay BioBlitz Report Christopher Swarth, Lindsay Hollister, Elaine Friebele, Karyn Molines and Susan Matthews Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary December 2008 Introduction A BioBlitz is a 24-hour field survey and inventory of organisms in a well-defined area such as a park or other natural area. The objective of this intensive survey is to generate a catalog or list of all species that are identified or collected during the brief survey period. The first BioBlitz in the United States was conducted in 1996 in Washington, DC. Today dozens of BioBlitzes are held annually in the United States (see Wikipedia Encyclopedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioBlitz. A BioBlitz increases local knowledge of biodiversity and involves local naturalists and the public in coordinated fieldwork and observation. The surveys raise the awareness among the general public about the natural world and the importance of biodiversity. The species distribution and occurrence information that is obtained from a BioBlitz also provides resource managers with a deeper understanding of the natural lands under their management, thus enabling improved habitat stewardship. The 2007 Jug Bay BioBlitz took place at the Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary over a 24-hour period, from 12:00 (noon) on 15 September to 12:00 on 16 September. We organized this event in order to take advantage of the growing interest in biodiversity by the public and to tap in to the community of active, highly skilled naturalists in the Washington DC/Baltimore area. For this first-time effort we concentrated the field surveys on groups of organisms for which local biogeographical information was poor or incomplete (for example, ants, ground bees, spiders and zooplankton), rather than on the groups for which our knowledge on distribution was relatively thorough such as birds and herps.

  • Fungal Pathogen Creates 'Zombeetles' 18 September 2017
    Fungal pathogen creates 'zombeetles' 18 September 2017 If you didn't see them, you likely were looking too big. The zombies in question are beetles. You can call them "zombeetles" if you like. Don Steinkraus won't mind. Steinkraus, professor of entomology for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture, has been studying the interaction of Eryniopsis lampyridarum, a fungal pathogen, and goldenrod soldier beetles for decades. Earlier this year, Steinkraus published a paper about his research in the Journal of Invertebrate Pathology, the leading scientific journal on diseases of all invertebrates, including beetles. Zombies in the yard E. lampyridarum is an entomopathogen, a class of organism that alters the behavior and morphology of its hosts. Steinkraus said there are many such pathogens and parasites, some of which infect larger animals, including mammals—including humans. "It's eerie," Steinkraus said. "I'm a scientist, I'm a biologist. But as I get older, you know, I think about how all these things are preying on humans, too." Makes you want to take a closer look at your neighbors, doesn't it? In his paper, Steinkraus cites Toxoplasma gondii, a A goldenrod soldier beetle remains secured to a flower common pathogen of cats, as an example of an by its teeth after dying of a fungal disease that turns the entomopathogen.

  • Virginia Tech Letterhead
    Leatherwing (Soldier) Beetles By Chris Philips, Elizabeth Fread, and Tom Kuhar Department of Entomology, Virginia Tech Order: Coleoptera Family: Cantharidae Species: Chauliognathus pennsylvanicus and Chauliognathus marginatus Beetles in the family Cantharidae are referred to as soldier beetles or leatherwings. The name soldier beetle originates from the elytra (front wings) of one of the earliest described species being reminiscent of early uniforms of British soldiers. The latter name was coined for the soft nature of the elytra. Two species in the genus Chauliognathus are commonly found in Virginia. Chauliognathus pennsylvanicus (Fig 1) is often referred to as the Pennsylvania leatherwing, or the goldenrod soldier beetle referring to its favorite flowering plant in the fall. A similar species Chauliognathus marginatus, the margined leatherwing, is found in the spring on various flowers. Fig. 1. Pennsylvania leatherwing beetle Fig. 2. Margined leatherwing beetle Description and Life History Though soldier beetles resemble fireflies, they lack the light-producing organ on their abdomen and their head is not concealed from above by the pronotal plate. Cantharid beetles in general are elongate with soft and flexible elytra. The two Chauliognathus species range in size from 1/2 to 5/8-inch long, and have yellowish to orange elytra. Pennsylvania leatherwing has two prominent brown-black spots near the tips of the elytra and a black spot in the center of the pronotum (Fig. 1). In contrast, the elytra of the margined leatherwing can vary considerably in the amount of dark markings (Fig 3) and the dark marking on the pronotum is a band that reaches both the front and the back edge (Fig.
