Biology of Amsacta flavicosta (Lepidoptera: Arctiidae) a Pest of Cowpeas

November 1978 · Annals of the Entomological Society of America

J. C. Gupta

Amsacta flavicosta has been known as a minor pest of cowpeas in northern Nigeria but during the crop season of 1974-75 it appeared in major pest proportion at Nsukka, in Eastern Nigeria. The biology of this insect was studied under natural green house conditions. The egg stage lasted 7.80±0.25 days. The 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th larval stadia were 8.40±0.43, 3.80±0.27, 3.80±0.16, 7.00±0.13 and ... [Show full abstract] 5.60±0.22 days long, respectively. The pupal period was 20.14±0.54 days. The adult life span under captivity was 2.40±0.31 days in both sexes.

Some Lepidoptera species of Turkey whose larvae feed on Astragalus sp. (Fabaceae)

November 2024

The biology of Lepidoptera (Insecta), characterized by traits such as rapid reproduction, short life cycles, host plant specificity, and a wide host range, is closely linked to host-plant strategies. Host plants play a crucial role in the development of the larval stage. This study investigates Lepidoptera species distributed in Turkey, whose larvae feed on Astragalus species (commonly known as ... [Show full abstract] milkvetch). A comprehensive review of the literature on the larval host plants of Lepidoptera was conducted, and an updated list was compiled. A total of 53 Lepidoptera species feeding on 35 Astragalus species have been documented. These species are presented along with their distribution in Turkey and the relevant references. This research is expected to contribute to studies on larva-host plant relationships and conservation efforts.

As coletas foram realizadas de janeiro a julho de 2007 (duas vezes por semana), predominantemente pela coleta com rede entomológica. Foram registrados 376 indivíduos de lepidópteros, distribuídos em 27 espécies. A curva de rarefação baseada na amostra mostrou um rápido aumento do número do tamanho amostral seguido de uma assíntota, que indica uma estabilização. Os valores obtidos para o índice de diversidade de Shannon-Wiener foi de 1,58 e o índice de Equidade de Pielou foi de 0,37 revelando que a comunidade de lepidópteros apresenta uma heterogeneidade na abundância dos lepidópteros.
