Sp503-I-Identifying The Flathead Appletree Borer (Chrysobothris Femorata) And Other Buprestid Beetle Species In Tennessee, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Home Garden, Lawn, and Landscape
The flatheaded appletree borer, Chrysobothris femorata (Olivier) (FHATB) is a well-documented, native pest of deciduous trees. It has a wide host range and is particularly problematic in commercial nurseries and urban landscapes, where it can cause rapid decline of economically important hosts. When infestations are high, FHATB has been known to attack healthy trees as well as those stressed by drought, plant disease, mechanical injury and other environmental factors. Its distribution is ubiquitous, covering the entire continental United States and extending into Canada.

Sp341-U-The Bagworm And Its Control, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Home Garden, Lawn, and Landscape
The bagworm, Thyridopteryx ephemeraeformis (Haworth), is one of the more curious and interesting insect pests of trees and shrubs. Its carrot-shaped bag is constructed of bits of material from the plant upon which it is feeding and is enlarged as the bagworm grows. The bag is carried wherever the worm goes. When disturbed, the bagworm merely pulls its head back into the bag for protection.

Forestry, Trees, and Timber
The maple petiole borer, Caulocampus acericaulis (MacGillivray), was first introduced into the United States from Europe. This sawfly is wasp-like in appearance and is rarely seen because of its small size. Although several species of maple are subject to attack by this insect, sugar maples are preferred.

Sp341-Q Sugarcane Beetle In Field Corn, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
The sugarcane beetle is an occasional pest of field corn in Tennessee. Infestations have been spotty to date and not too damaging in terms of stand and yield losses. However, the beetle caused serious damage in corn during the 2001 and 2002 growing seasons. The fields affected were corn planted into pasture, sod or no-till and some conventional tillage corn.

W221-Mid-South Multi-State Evaluation Of Treatment Thresholds For Tarnished Plant Bug In Pre-Flowering Cotton, The University Of Tennessee Agricultural Extension Service
Field & Commercial Crops
Prior to bloom, the primary hemipteran pest of cotton in the Mid-South is the tarnished plant bug (TPB). Cotton fleahopper and clouded plant bug are other hemipteran pests that are occasionally observed. These pests reduce yields by feeding on squares (flower buds), which often shed. Mid-sized or larger squares may not shed, but feeding injury is generally evident in the form of yellow staining on the surface of the square and damaged anthers in flowers (i.e., dirty blooms). Square loss can delay maturity and sometimes reduce yield. Delays in crop maturity, even when not causing yield loss, can increase mid-and …
