The ailanthus webworm (Atteva aurea) is an ermine moth now found commonly in the United States. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It was formerly known under the scientific name Atteva punctella (see Taxonomy section). This small, very colorful moth resembles a true bug or beetle when not in flight, but in flight it resembles a wasp.
Spoladea recurvalis, the beet webworm moth or Hawaiian beet webworm moth, is a species of moth of the family Crambidae. It is found worldwide, but mainly in the tropics. The wingspan is 22–24 mm. The moth flies from May to September depending on the location. The larvae feed on spinach, beet, cotton, maize and soybean. When fully grown, they ...
Insect migration is the seasonal movement of insects, particularly those by species of dragonflies, beetles, butterflies and moths. The distance can vary with species and in most cases, these movements involve large numbers of individuals.
Hymenia perspectalis, the spotted beet webworm moth, is a species of moth of the family Crambidae. It is found in various parts of the world, including North America, where it is found from Maine to Florida , west to Texas and north to Michigan and Ontario . [ 4 ]
The biochemistry of insect flight has been a focus of considerable study. While many insects use carbohydrates and lipids as the energy source for flight, many beetles and flies use the amino acid proline as their energy source. [35] Some species also use a combination of sources and moths such as Manduca sexta use carbohydrates for pre-flight ...
Herpetogramma bipunctalis, commonly known as the southern beet webworm moth or two-spotted herpetogramma, is a species of moth in the family Crambidae. [1] It is found from New England to Florida, west to Texas and north to Illinois. In the south, the range extends through Central America and the Caribbean to South America.
Knowledge of bean leaf beetle flight capacity is important because the beetles are the primary vector for bean pod mottle virus, and pathogen epidemiology is dependent on beetle movement. A majority of beetle flights are short, usually less than 30 minutes and moving less than 50 meters. However, some beetles will make longer, unidirectional ...
The altitude reached by beetles in flight varies. One study investigating the flight altitude of the ladybird species Coccinella septempunctata and Harmonia axyridis using radar showed that, whilst the majority in flight over a single location were at 150–195 m above ground level, some reached altitudes of over 1100 m.
