On-trap moth automated identification suffers the problems of varieties of moth pose, life stage and sex, which 5 finally lead to incomplete feature extraction and mis-identification. Due to the intra-species variance, a pose 6 estimation-dependent automated identification method using deep learning architecture for on-trap field moth 7 sample is proposed in this paper. To solve the segmentatio...

Abstract: We investigated the role of floral odors from cowpea, Vigna unguiculata (L.), in mediating oviposition of the bean pod borer moth, Maruca vitrata, a serious pest of grain legumes that flies to host plants at the flowering stage and oviposits onto flowers and buds. The flower of the host plant V. unguiculata was a stimulus for egg-laying by M. vitrata in an oviposition bioassay. Commer...

Combined attracticide formulations targeting Oriental fruit moth, Grapholita molesta (Busck), and codling moth, Cydia pomonella (L.), were tested in a field trapping experiment. Capture of male codling moths in traps baited with the combined formulation was reduced compared with traps baited with the codling moth formulation alone, whereas capture of male Oriental fruit moth was increased compa...

Moth species were studied from some selected districts of Assam (i.e., Cachar and Barpeta district) to determine their diversity index, species richness and evenness of Arctiidae and Geometriidae family of the moth fauna.The moths were collected by applying specialized trapping methods using UV light operating during night. Collected moth species were identified up to family-genusspecies level....

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate the profile of sensitization to silkworm moth (Bombyx mori) and other 9 common inhalant allergens among patients with allergic diseases in southern China. METHODS A total of 175 patients were tested for serum sIgE against silkworm moth in addition to combinations of other allergens: Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus, Dermatophagoides farinae, Blomia tro...

The origin and insecticide resistance status of Diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) populations infesting canola, vegetables, forage brassicas and weeds has fundamental implications for management of the pest in Australia. Diamondback moth is considered a migratory species in the Northern Hemisphere, but although there is evidence that Diamondback moth moves en-masse throughout Australia in ...

The gypsy moth-Lymantria dispar (Linnaeus)-is a worldwide forest defoliator and is of two types: the European gypsy moth and the Asian gypsy moth. Because of multiple invasions of the Asian gypsy moth, the North American Plant Protection Organization officially approved Regional Standards for Phytosanitary Measures No. 33. Accordingly, special quarantine measures have been implemented for 30 sp...
