    Pests in Northwestern Washington Prompted a 1994-1995 CAPS Survey of Apple Trees to Identify All Leaf-Feeding Apple Pests Currently in Whatcom County

    6. Biology / Phenology a. Biology 1. Exotic Fruit Tree Pests in Whatcom County, Washington Eric LaGasa Plant Services Div., Wash. St. Dept. of Agriculture P.O. Box 42560, Olympia, Washington 98504-2560 (360) 902-2063 [email protected] The Washington State Department of Agriculture (WSDA) has conducted detection surveys and other field projects for exotic pests since the mid-1980's, with funding provided by the USDA/ APHIS Cooperative Agricultural Pest Survey (CAPS) program. Recent discovery of several exotic fruit tree pests in northwestern Washington prompted a 1994-1995 CAPS survey of apple trees to identify all leaf-feeding apple pests currently in Whatcom County. Additional exotic apple pest species, new to either the region or U.S. were discovered. This paper presents some brief descriptions of species detected in that project, and other exotic fruit tree pest species discovered in northwest Washington since 1985. Table 1. - Exotic Fruit Tree Pests New to Northwestern Washington State - 1985 to 1995 green pug moth - Geometridae: Chloroclystis rectangulata (L.) An early, persistent European pest of apple, pear, cherry and other fruit trees. Larvae attack buds, blossoms, and leaves from March to June. Damage to blossoms causes considerable deformation of fruit. Larvae are common in apple blossoms in Whatcom County, where it was first reared from apple trees in 1994. This pest, new to North America, was also recently detected in the northeastern U.S. Croesia holmiana - Tortricidae: Croesia holmiana (L.) A common pest of many fruit trees and ornamental plants in Europe and Asia, where it is considered a minor problem. Spring larval feeding affects only leaves.

When mixing and applying pesticides, follow all label precautions to protect yourself and others around you. It is a violation of the law to disregard label directions. If pesticides are spilled on skin or clothing, remove clothing and wash skin thoroughly. Store pesticides in their original containers and keep them out of the reach of children, pets, and livestock. Copyright 2000 Washington State University EB1892 RECOGNIZING ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT CATERPILLAR PESTS OF pacific northwest ROW CROPS Most economically important “worms” or caterpillars in the Pacific Northwest belong to the family Noctuidae, comprising the cutworms, armyworms, and loopers. The moth adults of this family collectively are known as “millers.” Although in this bulletin we deal primarily with the noctuid group, we describe two other species, the imported cabbageworm and the diamondback moth. They also are noted pests of the Northwest’s important cole crops. Because it is often more efficient to monitor for adults than for larvae, we include descriptions and photos of adults in this guide. Larvae photos are as true to type as we could find to reinforce the text. Word descriptions follow the style and format previously given by Johansen, 1973 (Fig 1) and can be used only with mature larvae.

    Stillingfleet Nurseries to Enable the Best of the Catches to Be Shown to the Visitors on Sunday 28 June

    Moth trapping at Stillingfleet Lodge Nurseries (SE 589409) from June 2012 Onwards Following a request from Mrs Vanessa Cook for representatives of Butterfly Conservation, Yorkshire Branch to attend a “Conservation Day” in the grounds of Stillingfleet Lodge it was agreed to install moth traps within the grounds and to display the catches to the visiting public at the event. As with much of the early summer in 2012 the weather was not very conducive to flying insects, although a reasonable number of specimens were caught and retained in small see- through containers to enable them to be viewed by the visitors. In spite of the damp conditions a good number of visitors did attend to support the stall set up by Butterfly Conservation, alongside several other attendee conservation groups. The following reports are written by David Baker who was accompanied on all the visits, unless noted otherwise, by David laughlin. The word “trap” alarms some people who associate the word with killing etc. However, no moths were harmed in the exercise and all were released after counting and, in this instance, displaying to other interested parties during the afternoon. At the end of the day we agreed to carry out further trapping later on in the year and, perhaps in following years, to try to assess the species of moths flying in the area of the Lodge and the following lists show the results of further trapping at the site. The three 2012 sessions, separated by several weeks, showed a great variety of moths with repeat species being very few and a total of 94 species were recorded.

After spending the first two days in the Vienne, we visited the myriad ponds of the Pinail Nature Reserve on our way to Bellebouche, where we spent three days in the Brenne, 'land of a thousand lakes'. This wide range of sites and habitats yielded a final total of 35 species of dragonflies, 40 species of butterflies, and 136 bird species, not to mention a wide range of other animals and plants, that the combined talents of the group helped to find and identify. The weather ranged from a cool 18°C on Day 2 to a sizzling 40°C plus on Day 6, curtailing walking (and odonata) activity somewhat! However, as the Brenne was a new area for all but one participant, we also took refuge in several of the newer bird hides that now grace the Brenne, enjoying great views of some of the Brennes' special birds. Day 1 Wednesday 22nd June Cool, sunny, 20°C The train from Paris arrived on time at Poitiers, at 16.53, where we all met up except for Hilary, who was meeting us at the hotel in Montmorillon.
  • Boughton Heath Allotment Colony: Moths in the Time of Lockdown Last Year I Started Trapping and Photographing Moths at the Colony

    Boughton Heath Allotment Colony: Moths in the Time of Lockdown Last Year I Started Trapping and Photographing Moths at the Colony

    Crambus perlella (Satin Grass-veneer) Boughton Heath Allotment Colony: Moths in the time of lockdown Last year I started trapping and photographing moths at the colony. I’ve continued this year, and because of lockdown I’ve done more here than anywhere else. Most of my records involve moths attracted to a light trap; I try to identify every one, photograph some and release them all unharmed. In all this year at the allotments I’ve caught and identified over 900 individual moths, belonging to 172 different species, bringing my overall total for the allotments to 194 species. This is just a brief summary of this year’s moths. There are more pictures on my Flickr site. If you follow the link, you’ll find my ‘Allotment Moths’ album, with the most recent moths appearing first. (I think the page defaults to ‘large view’ which is ok, but buttons at top right allow for a slideshow view or ‘justified view’, which I think is the best way to see the album as a whole and click through it.) https://www.flickr.com/photos/149980226@N06/albums/72157678669587018 There are moths about in every month of the year, but this year kicked off for me in March, with a handful of species, including these two Quakers. Common Quaker Small Quaker Muslin Moth Poplar Hawk- moth April highlights included Muslin Moth and Poplar Hawk-moth. Things really begin to warm up in May, both weather-wise and in the world of moths. The Green Carpet is still a common species, but what a beauty it is, likewise the Brimstone Moth.
