  • A Guide to Arthropods Bandelier National Monument
    A Guide to Arthropods Bandelier National Monument Top left: Melanoplus akinus Top right: Vanessa cardui Bottom left: Elodes sp. Bottom right: Wolf Spider (Family Lycosidae) by David Lightfoot Compiled by Theresa Murphy Nov 2012 In collaboration with Collin Haffey, Craig Allen, David Lightfoot, Sandra Brantley and Kay Beeley WHAT ARE ARTHROPODS? And why are they important? What’s the difference between Arthropods and Insects? Most of this guide is comprised of insects. These are animals that have three body segments- head, thorax, and abdomen, three pairs of legs, and usually have wings, although there are several wingless forms of insects. Insects are of the Class Insecta and they make up the largest class of the phylum called Arthropoda (arthropods). However, the phylum Arthopoda includes other groups as well including Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, shrimps, barnacles, etc.), Myriapoda (millipedes, centipedes, etc.) and Arachnida (scorpions, king crabs, spiders, mites, ticks, etc.). Arthropods including insects and all other animals in this phylum are characterized as animals with a tough outer exoskeleton or body-shell and flexible jointed limbs that allow the animal to move. Although this guide is comprised mostly of insects, some members of the Myriapoda and Arachnida can also be found here. Remember they are all arthropods but only some of them are true ‘insects’. Entomologist - A scientist who focuses on the study of insects! What’s bugging entomologists? Although we tend to call all insects ‘bugs’ according to entomology a ‘true bug’ must be of the Order Hemiptera. So what exactly makes an insect a bug? Insects in the order Hemiptera have sucking, beak-like mouthparts, which are tucked under their “chin” when Metallic Green Bee (Agapostemon sp.) not in use.

Some species of cereal leaf beetle co-occur in the same localities, but the host specificity of the wasp to these crop pests has not yet been examined in detail. A lack of knowledge of host specificity can have a negative effect on the use of this wasps in biological control programs addressed to specific pest species or genus. In this study, laboratory experiments were conducted to assess the host specificity of A. flavipes for three species of cereal leaf beetles (Oulema duftschmidi Redtenbacher, 1874, Oulema gallaeciana Heyden, 1879 and Oulema melanopus Linnaeus, 1758) in central Europe.

ABSTRACT: Increased production of the Cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) in Brazil has given rise to interest in identifying the phytophagous species that might damage this crop to inform preventive control and integrated pest management strategies. In this study, we report the occurrence and describe the damage that larvae and adults of Lema bilineata Germar (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) cause in P. peruviana. The number of L. bilineata individuals, both larvae and adults, significantly affected the total consumption of P. peruviana leaves. We also report, for the first time, three natural enemies, including a fungus, a fly, and an ant, which are associated with this pest in Brazil and may play a role in biological control strategies. Key words: Cape gooseberry, entomopathogenic fungus, natural enemies.

Received: 16 April 2020; Accepted: 7 May 2020; Published: 11 May 2020 Abstract: Lema bilineata (Germar) is an alien invasive leaf beetle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) first recorded in Europe in the summer of 2017 in the province of Naples (Campania, Italy). It occurs on both cultivated plants (Nicotiana tabacum) and weeds (Salpichroa origanifolia and Datura spp.). Information on morphological characters, color variation and molecular data are deficient for L. bilineata, as is the case for most Lema species. These data could be useful to discriminate between this species and the closely related Lema daturaphila Kogan & Goeden, which has the same potential to become an alien invasive species. In this paper, color variation in adults and the morphology of the aedeagi and spermathecae of the two species are documented and compared, including micrographic images. Additional data on the current distribution of L. bilineata in Campania is also provided. The cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) barcoding region of both Italian and South African specimens of L.

  • Three-Lined Potato Beetle Dr
    Bringing information and education into the communities of the Granite State Three-Lined Potato Beetle Dr. Alan T. Eaton, Extension Specialist, Entomology Three-lined potato beetles are found on plants in the family Solanaceae, including potato, tomato and relatives. They are un- common on potato, rare on tomato, but very common on tomatillo (Physalis ixocarpa). Adults are 7-8 mm long (1/4 inch) orange-yel- low, with three lengthwise black stripes. The females lay orange-yel- low eggs in groups, usually on the undersides of leaves, by veins. The larvae hatch in late June or July, and look a bit like slugs with legs and black heads. They tend to stay in groups as they feed, rather than feeding individually. They cover themselves with their own excrement, probably as a defense to being eaten. After the first generation has completed its development, a second generation appears in August. Both the larvae and the adults chew on foliage. On potato and tomato the injury is usually minor, but injury can be severe on tomatillo. Three-lined potato beetle Research in Connecticut (published in 1918) stated that the insect overwinters in the pupa stage, in the soil. Research in southern California (published 1970) concluded that they overwinter there as adults. I assume the Connecticut work is representative for New The larvae hatch in late June or Hampshire, so crop rotation may assist in reducing problems.

Smeda2, Martha A. Mutschler2, James J. Accepted: 21 March 2018 Giovannoni1,3 & Georg Jander 1 Published: xx xx xxxx The Colorado potato beetle (CPB; Leptinotarsa decemlineata Say), the most economically important insect pest on potato (Solanum tuberosum L.), also feeds on other Solanaceae, including cultivated tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.). We used tomato genetic mapping populations to investigate natural variation in CPB resistance. CPB bioassays with 74 tomato lines carrying introgressions of Solanum pennellii in S. lycopersicum cv. M82 identifed introgressions from S. pennellii on chromosomes 1 and 6 conferring CPB susceptibility, whereas introgressions on chromosomes 1, 8 and 10 conferred higher resistance. Mapping of CPB resistance using 113 recombinant inbred lines derived from a cross between S. lycopersicum cv UC-204B and Solanum galapagense identifed signifcant quantitative trait loci on chromosomes 6 and 8. In each case, the S. galapagense alleles were associated with lower leaf damage and reduced larval growth. Results of both genetic mapping approaches converged on the same region of chromosome 6, which may have important functions in tomato defense against CPB herbivory. Although genetic mapping identifed quantitative trait loci encompassing known genes for tomato acyl sugar and glycoalkaloid biosynthesis, experiments with acyl sugar near-isogenic lines and transgenic GAME9 glycoalkaloid-defcient and overproducing lines showed no signifcant efect of these otherwise insect-defensive metabolites on CPB performance.

Prepared by: Edward Durner Department of Plant Biology Rutgers- The State University of New Jersey 59 Dudley Road New Brunswick, NJ 08901 Synonym: Physalis edulis Sims Common Names: aguaymanto, alkekengi, amor en bolsa, apelliefie, Barbados gooseberry, Bladderberry, bolsa de amor, Cape gooseberry, capuli, cereza del Peru, chuchuva, coqueret, golden berry, golden Cape gooseberry, golden husk goldenberry, gooseberry, gooseberry tomato, ground cherry, guchavo, Husk Cherry, incaberry, lobolobohan, love apple, makowi, motojobobo embolsado, Peruvian cherry, Peruvian ground cherry, Peruvian tomato, Pichuberry, Poha Berry, Poha, pompelmoes, strawberry tomato, teparee, tiparee, tomate sylvestre, topotopo, uchuba, uchuva, uvilla, vejigón, wild gooseberry, winter cherry Related Species: Clammy Ground Cherry (Physalis heterophylla), Tomatillo (P. ixocarpa), Purple Ground Cherry (P. philadelphica), Strawberry Tomato (P. pruinosa), Ground Cherry, Husk Tomato (P. pubescens), Sticky Ground Cherry (P. viscosa). There is considerable confusion in the literature concerning the various species. Hybrids between them are also known. Origin: The cape gooseberry is native to tropical South America. Adaptation: Goldenberry is an annual in temperate regions and a perennial in the tropics. Plants are injured at a temperature of about 30oF. Goldenberries have a long growing season and should be started in the greenhouse and transplanted outdoors as soon as the threat for frost is over. They are productive anywhere tomatoes can be grown. They grow well in pots and in greenhouse culture, too. History: Goldenberry was first described by Linnaeus in 1753 and has been cultivated for years in the Andes mountains of South America. The fruit has spread worldwide however it has not become a significant crop in most regions.
