Rearing and observation of immature stages of the hoverfly Microdon katsurai (Diptera, Syrphidae)
BACKGROUND The hoverfly Microdon (Chymophila) katsurai Maruyama et Hironaga 2004 was speculated to be a myrmecophilous species associated with the ant Polyrhachis lamellidens based on observations of adults near the ant nest. However, there have been no reports regarding the observation of immature stages of this species in association with P. lamellidens. NEW INFORMATION For the first time, ...

متن کاملBiology of Microdon Fuscipennis (diptera: Syrphidae) with Interpretations of the Reproductive Strategies of Microdon Species Found North of Mexico
—Two hundred and ninety six adults, larvae, and pupae of Microdon fuscipennis were collected and/or reared from nests of the dolichoderine ant, Iridomyrmex pruinosus (Roger). Observations are made on the distribution of M. fuscipennis in the ant nests, sex ratio (1:1), adult emergence, mating, number of eggs laid (x = 63), larval emergence from the egg, and predation (third-instar fly larvae fr...
متن کاملThe behaviour of hoverfly larvae (Diptera, Syrphidae) lessens the effects of floral subsidy in agricultural landscapes
20 Modern agricultural landscapes favour crop pests: herbivores benefit from resource 21 concentration and/or the absence of natural enemies in large areas of intensively farmed fields 22 interspersed by small fragments of natural or non-crop habitats. 23 Conservation biological control (CBC) aims at increasing the functional diversity of 24 agricultural landscapes to make them more hospitable ...
متن کاملEffects of chronic exposure to thiamethoxam on larvae of the hoverfly Eristalis tenax (Diptera, Syrphidae)
There is widespread concern over the use of neonicotinoid pesticides in the agro-ecosystem, due in part to their high water solubility which can lead to widespread contamination of non-target areas including standing surface water. Most studies investigating the negative fitness consequences of neonicotinoids have focused on bees, with little research on the impact on other non-target insects. ...
