Over the last few years I have noticed a small hard shelled beetles on fire scenes but never like 6-25-12. We were on a tractor fire 11 west and about 4 north of Alva, Oklahoma in Wheat Stubble field with a tractor fire. I had one of the firefighters take my picture. We were all covered like this with Melanophila. |

The genitalia of Spodoptera pulchell are nearly identical to the genitalia of S. ornithogalli. A small spine in the vesica of the aedeagus is the distinguishing characteristic, but is difficult to find. Also, the coremata lobes are of equal size. Fortunately, the wings are distinctive, plus, apparently, this species is found only in southern Florida (and the West Indies).

camphor shot borer |
Xylosandrus mutilatus |
Just under the scutellum in a female, you will find the mycangia. The mycangia Is a highly specialized saclike organ of ectodermal origin, which is used by the beetle to maintain and transport fungi during dispersal. Notice the honeycomb appearance of the mycangia. |

camphor shot borer |
Xylosandrus mutilatus |
A close look into the ultrastructure of the mycangia yields many fungal spores and segmented hyphae. From (Kajimura and Hijii 1994) and (Kinuura 1995), the primary food source for the larvae and adults is a species-specific fungus in the genus Ambrosiella. |

mango scale |
Aulacaspis tubercularis |
The female armor (cover) is white with a circular, flat, thin and often wrinkled shaped. Exuviae is submarginal giving the appearance of median black ridge or bar (especially at low power). Male covers are small, white, sides nearly parallel and with three distinct carinae.
The adult female is characteristically shaped with an elongate and somewhat parallel-sided pygidium. This is one of the few pests found on mangoes that can be identified in the field for the most part because of the "bar" characteristic. The cover MUST have the black bar-shaped submarginal character.

grass thrips |
Anaphothrips obscurus |
Second-instar larvae are yellow with grey markings, medially on the head, two spots laterally on the pronotum, and transversely on tergites IX and X near the posterior margin. Tergite IX bears two pairs of setae with the apices capitate, and the posterior margin of this segment has a row of teeth. Body yellow with brown markings, antenna 9 segments with VI having at least a partial transverse suture Males of A. obscurus are not known; worldwide the species has never been confirmed to be other than parthenogenetic. The females are dimorphic, either fully-winged (macropterous), or short-winged (micropterous or brachypterous). The macropterae are mainly yellow in colour, although the posterior margin of the head has a brown transverse marking, and the anterior tergites are variably shaded with brown; the forewings are slightly yellow, and the distal antennal segments are mainly brown. Micropterous individuals are usually almost clear yellow. The head and pronotum have no long setae, in contrast to most other pest thrips species. The abdominal tergites are completely sculptured medially, and the eighth abdominal tergite has a complete comb along the posterior margin. Found on corn, rice, wheat, and grasses (per CPC). Host and distribution information from Crop Protection Compendium (CPC) and SFO collection Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, pacific, Western Hemisphere CPC Damage: Kamm (1971) recorded a 16% reduction in seed yield of bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) in Oregon, USA, and added that subsequent damage to the leaves of the plants almost certainly resulted in further yield reduction. In other reports of yield reduction in grasses grown for seed it is clear that A. obscurus is only one of a group of thrips species that are associated with such damage (Zawirska, 1970). Near Beijing in China, Han et al. (1979) noted that A. obscurus caused serious damage to young maize in late spring if large populations had first built up on wheat in spring and then migrated to maize. Rains depressed population size, but drought increased them. |
