  • The Syrphid Fly, Mesogramma Marginata, and the Flowers of Apocynum.* *
    THE SYRPHID FLY, MESOGRAMMA MARGINATA, AND THE FLOWERS OF APOCYNUM.* * RAYMOND C. OSBURN. The flowers of the various species of the dogbane, Apocynum spp., have long been known to catch some of the weaker sorts of insects attracted by them, but as far as I am aware, no such wholesale slaughter of a particular species as that herein •described has been noted. In fact, if I may judge by the con- versations which I have held with both botanists and entomol- ogists, the capacity of the dogbane for trapping insects has pretty generally escaped notice. My own attention was drawn to the subject last summer "when Miss Edith Weston, a young student of botany at the Ohio State University Lake Laboratory at Put-in-Bay, brought in some flowers of Apocynum androscemifolium and called my attention to the fact that the flowers had "bugs" in them. A glance at the flowers showed that there were insects in nearly all of them and that these were all of one species, the common little Syrphid fly, Mesogramma marginata (Say). Many of these were still alive, though evidently held in such a manner that they could not escape. As the flowers are open bells, my curiosity was aroused and I began a careful examination. Having in mind the related milkweed, Asclepias, whose flower clusters sometimes entangle the legs of insects by a sticky secretion, I was a little surprised to find that all of the flies in the Apocynum flowers were held by the proboscis. As many as four were present in some of the flowers, the little bell being as full as it would hold.

    Ulicsni et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:47 DOI 10.1186/s13002-016-0118-7 RESEARCH Open Access Folk knowledge of invertebrates in Central Europe - folk taxonomy, nomenclature, medicinal and other uses, folklore, and nature conservation Viktor Ulicsni1* , Ingvar Svanberg2 and Zsolt Molnár3 Abstract Background: There is scarce information about European folk knowledge of wild invertebrate fauna. We have documented such folk knowledge in three regions, in Romania, Slovakia and Croatia. We provide a list of folk taxa, and discuss folk biological classification and nomenclature, salient features, uses, related proverbs and sayings, and conservation. Methods: We collected data among Hungarian-speaking people practising small-scale, traditional agriculture. We studied “all” invertebrate species (species groups) potentially occurring in the vicinity of the settlements. We used photos, held semi-structured interviews, and conducted picture sorting. Results: We documented 208 invertebrate folk taxa. Many species were known which have, to our knowledge, no economic significance. 36 % of the species were known to at least half of the informants. Knowledge reliability was high, although informants were sometimes prone to exaggeration. 93 % of folk taxa had their own individual names, and 90 % of the taxa were embedded in the folk taxonomy. Twenty four species were of direct use to humans (4 medicinal, 5 consumed, 11 as bait, 2 as playthings). Completely new was the discovery that the honey stomachs of black-coloured carpenter bees (Xylocopa violacea, X. valga)were consumed. 30 taxa were associated with a proverb or used for weather forecasting, or predicting harvests. Conscious ideas about conserving invertebrates only occurred with a few taxa, but informants would generally refrain from harming firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus), field crickets (Gryllus campestris) and most butterflies.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e57331. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e57331 Abstract Syrphid flies (Diptera: Syrphidae) are a cosmopolitan group of flower-visiting insects, though their diversity and importance as pollinators is understudied and often unappreciated. Data on 1,477 Syrphid occurrences and floral associations from three years of pollinator collection (2017-2019) in the Southern Illinois region of Illinois, United States, are here compiled and analyzed. We collected 69 species in 36 genera off of the flowers of 157 plant species. While a richness of 69 species is greater than most other families of flower-visiting insects in our region, a species accumulation curve and regional species pool estimators suggest that at least 33 species are yet uncollected.

  • Pollinator Survey Report Year 3
    January 2017 Gabrielle Flinn Saving the small things that run the planet 1 Summary Fife’s Buzzing is a three year project and during this time aimed to create wildflower meadows at 16 parks totalling over 12 hectares across Fife. Sites for meadow creation were selected across the Kingdom of Fife to deliver multiple benefits for both wildlife and people. The creation and enhancement of meadows through this project has involved planting a diverse range of native wildflower and grass species of known origin that will provide vital foraging and nesting habitat for pollinating insects and other wildlife. Surveys to record invertebrates, focusing on pollinating insects, before and after meadow creation have identified species using the meadows as well as changes within the meadow over the project lifetime. During pollinator surveys in August 2016, a total of 23 sites, selected for meadow creation, enhancement and management in autumn 2015 and spring 2016, were surveyed for pollinators. Baseline surveys were also undertaken in Haugh Park in Cupar, Bankie Park in Anstruther and at Tayport Common in Tayport. A total of 122 species of invertebrate were recorded during this survey and this total includes 65 species of pollinating insect. A higher number of species of invertebrate were recorded within areas of wildflower rich-grasslands (122 species) than in areas of amenity grassland (five species). 2 Contents Page Page Number 1.
