Partial Prey List for the Spined Soldier Bug (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Podisus Maculiventris) by Jeffrey R. Aldrich consulting, LLC Partial Prey List for the Spined Soldier Bug (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae: Podisus maculiventris) Adult feeding on Mexican Bean Beetle Nymph feeding on Colorado Potato Beetle Who is the “Spined Soldier Bug?” This little known, but common critter is one of the so-called “true bugs” (order Heteroptera: family Pentatomidae). Unlike many of its more familiar plant-feeding relatives, such as plant bugs and most other stink bugs, the spined soldier bug (Podisus maculiventris) is an obligate predator on a multitude of other insects, especially leaf-feeding caterpillars and beetles. Both adults and immature “nymphs” feed on unsuspecting prey by their cat-like ability to seek out and latch onto them with their barbed piercing-sucking mouthparts before their quarry realizes they are being attacked. At this point, escape is usually futile as soldier bugs often flip their struggling victims in mid-air suspended from their muscle-bound beak, all the while injecting saliva to kill and predigest the prey. Spined soldier bugs have a huge natural range spanning most of North America, and a powerful male-produced aggregation pheromone was identified years ago for this beneficial insect (Aldrich et al. 1978, 1984). Now, in the waning years of my entomological career, I am on a mission from my home base in Marcell, Minnesota to promote the use of this native predator for truly home-grown, safe biological control for organic gardeners and growers.

Organic Chemistry, Chemical Science and Engineering, Royal Institute of Technology, SE-10044 Stockholm, Sweden, 2014. ABSTRACT Aphrodisiac and anti-aphrodisiac pheromone production and composition in the green- veined white butterfly Pieris napi L. were investigated. Aphrodisiac pheromone biosynthesis had different time constraints in butterflies from the diapausing and directly developing generations. Effects of stable isotope incorporation in adult butterfly pheromone, in the nectar and flower volatiles of host plants from labeled substrates were measured by solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A method to fertilize plants with stable isotopes was developed and found to be an effective method to investigate the transfer of pheromone building blocks from flowering plants to butterflies. The anti-aphrodisiac methyl salicylate was not biosynthesized from phenylalanine in flowers of Alliaria petiolata. Both aphrodisiac and anti-aphrodisiac pheromones in P. napi are produced not only from resources acquired in the larval stage, but also from nutritional resources consumed in the adult stage. Males of P. napi produce the anti-aphrodisiac pheromone from both the essential amino acid L-phenylalanine and from common flower fragrance constituents.

  • 125 Variations in the Markings of Pieris Rapae (Pieridae
    VOLUME 24, i'-'UMBER 2 125 VARIATIONS IN THE MARKINGS OF PIERIS RAPAE (PIERIDAE) INDUCED DUlUNG THE PUPAL STAGE JOHN M. KOLYER 55 Chimney Ridge Drive, Convent, New Jersey, U.S.A. Introduction The present work represents the conclusion of a study which has involved observations on the effects of feeding larvae certain chemicals (Kolyer, 1966) and on the effects of environmental factors (Kolyer, 1969) on the wing markings of the European cabbage butterfly Pieris rapae ( Linnaeus ) . Specific objects were to note variations in markings as a result of (1) reduced-temperature storage of pupae of various ages, as an extension of previous work (Kolyer, 1969), (2) brief, barely sublethal heating of pupae, and (3) exposure of pupae to short-wave ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Incidental observations, e.g. on larval disease and the yellow form of P. rapae, also are included. Experimental Procedures Rearing. Final instal' larvae were reared on an artificial diet at 79 ± 2°F and 45 ± 5% relative humidity under continuous cool white fluores­ cent light. Larval development was completed on cabbage leaves from refrigerated heads (see Kolyer, 1966); rearing room conditions were: 70- 81°F, approx. 20-33% reI. hum., diffuse sunlight (March 6-April 17, 1969, Convent, New Jersey) . Refrigeration of pupae. As in previous work (Kolyer, 1969), pupae were packed carefully along with facial tissues in fiber mailing cans, which were covered with polyethylene bags to exclude moisture and stored in a refrigerator at 32-36°F for 154-156 days (approx. 5 months). Heat treatment of pupae. Two test tubes, one inside the other, were immersed in hot water in a Dewar (vacuum-jacketed) vessel and allowed to equilibrate so that the temperature of the air within the inner tube ap­ proximated the temperature of the bath.

Lenhard, Louisiana State University, Bugwood.org Common Name: Spined soldier bug Scientific Name: Podisus maculiventris Order and Family: Hemiptera; Pentatomidae Size and Appearance: Length (mm) Appearance Egg 1 mm Around the operculum (lid/covering) on the egg there are long projections; eggs laid in numbers of 17 -70 in oval masses; cream to black in color. Larva/Nymph 1.3 – 10 mm 1st and 2nd instars: black head and thorax; reddish abdomen; black dorsal and lateral plates. Younger instars are gregarious; cannibalistic. 3rd instar: black head and thorax; reddish abdomen with black, orange, and white bar-shaped and lateral markings 4th instar: similar to 3rd instar; wing pads noticeable 5th instar: prominent wing pads; mottled brown head and thorax; white or tan and black markings on abdomen. Adult 11 mm Spine on each shoulder; mottled brown body color; females larger than males; 2 blackish dots at the 3rd apical (tip) of each hind femur; 1-3 generations a year. Pupa (if applicable) Type of feeder (Chewing, sucking, etc.): Nymph and adult: Piercing-sucking Host/s: Spined soldier bugs are predators and feed on many species of insects including the larval stage of beetles and moths. These insects are found on many different crops including alfalfa, soybeans, and fruit. Some important pest insect larvae prey include Mexican bean beetle larvae, European corn borer, imported cabbageworm, fall armyworm, corn earworm, and Colorado potato beetle larvae. If there is not enough prey, the spined soldier bug may feed on plant juices, but this does not damage the plant.

(Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) was measured in the laboratory. Both nymphal and adult predators displayed high predation rates on eggs, nymphs and adults of the southern green stinkbug. However, developmental times of fourth instar P. maculiven- tris on eggs or nymphal instars of N. viridula were longer than on fifth instars of the cotton leafworm, Spodoptera littoralis (Boisduval) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), suggesting that N. viridula is suboptimal prey for the spined soldier bug. Preference experiments in which fourth instar P. maculiventris were given a choice between fourth instars of N. viridula and fifth instars of S. littoralis indicated that the stinkbugs were less vulnerable to predation than the caterpillars, mainly because of their greater agility. The potential role of P. macu- liventris in augmentation or conservation biological control of the southern green stinkbug in greenhouse and field crops is discussed. Key Words: Nezara viridula, Podisus maculiventris, Asopinae, predator, biological control RESUMEN La capacidad de depredación de cuartos instares y macho y hembra adultos de Podisus ma- culiventris (Say) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) sobre los diferentes estados del chinche verde hediondo sureño Nezara viridula (L.)
