Laboratory Biology of Chetogena Scutellaris (diptera: Tachinidae), a Parasitoid of Noctuidae, Reared on Fall Armyworm and Cabbage Looper

The tachinid parasitoid Chetogena scutellaris (Wulp) was reared from southern armyworm, Spodoptera eridania (Cramer), a new host record. When reared in cabbage looper, Trichoplusia ni (Hübner), (a new host) and in fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J. E.
