Terricolous Spiders (Araneae) Of Insecticide-Treated Spruce-Fir Forests In West-Central Maine, Daniel J. Hilburn, Daniel T. Jennings
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Spiders of 12 families, 42 genera, and at least 62 species were captured in linear-pitfall traps placed in insecticide-treated (Sevin-4-Oil®, Dipel 4L ®, Thuricide 16B®) and untreated spruce-fIr forests of west-central Maine. Species richness per family ranged from 1 (Theridiidae, Araneidae, Salticidae) to 19 (Erigonidae). Most trapped species were web-spinners (67.2%); most trapped individuals were hunters (75.2%). Lycosidae accounted for 66.1 % of all (n = 887) captured spiders. Total trapped spiders varied among insecticide treatments, sampling dates, and study sites. However, comparison of mean prespray and postspray trap catches indicated no significant reduction (ANOVA, ANCOVA, P 0.05) in terricolous …

Biology, Injury, And Control Of The European Needle-Bending Midge (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) On Scotch Pine In Michigan, Louis F. Wilson, Frank J. Sapio, Gary A. Simmons
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Contarinia baeri is univoltine in Michigan. Adults emerge in spring, and females deposit eggs in small clusters in the sheaths of new-growth pine needles. Larvae hatch shortly thereafter and there are three larval instars. Larval feeding causes the needles to at first droop, discolor, and eventually drop, reducing the quality of Christmas trees and occasionally killing shoots. Larvae overwinter on the ground in cocoons, and pupate in spring. Adults were suppressed (> 75% control) with formulations of Pydrin® (fenvalerate) and Tempo® (cyfluthrin) applied within a week after adult emergence.

The Pest Status Of Yellowjackets In Ohio (Hymenoptera: Vespidae), Kenneth J. Stein, Dana L. Wrensch
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Since 1975 in Ohio, there has been an escalation in the number of complaints and inquiries regarding yellowjackets (Vespula and Dolichovespula spp.) to the Ohio pest control operators, the Ohio Cooperative Extension Service (OCES) County Agents and the OCES Entomologists at the Ohio State University. A survey was distributed in May 1985 to both groups in order to determine the pest status of yellowjackets in Ohio. The results of this survey strongly suggest that yelIowjackets in Ohio are largely an "economic pest", with most economic disturbances associated with homeowners, outdoor businesses, and outdoor recreational facilities.

New Host Records And Developmental Notes On The Pear Slug Caliroa Cerasi (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae), Feeding On Cotoneaster And Chaenomeles Species., Kenneth F. Raffa, Gregory L. Lintereur
The Great Lakes Entomologist
The pear slug. Caliroa cerasi was collected and reared to adulthood on flowering quince and three species of Cotoneaster. This is the first record of C. cerasi attacking any member of the genus Chaenomeles and the first confirmation of feeding on Cotoneaster in North America. Adult emergence, oviposition, and larval development were evaluated under both laboratory and field conditions. Females lay an average of 48 eggs, with about two-thirds of the oviposition occurring during their first 24 hours. A method for monitoring adult emergence in the field was developed.

Seasonal Occurrence Of Pine Root Collar Weevil, Hylobius Radicis (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), In Red Pine Stands Undergoing Decline, Kenneth F. Raffa, David J. Hall
The Great Lakes Entomologist
A trapping scheme was devised for sampling the pine root collar weevil, Hylobius radicis, in mature red pine plantations in Wisconsin. Adult weevils were trapped throughout the 1986 field season, and the method appears sensitive enough to discern temporal and spatial trends. The number of weevils caught was higher in stands symptomatic of the general condition currently labelled Red Pine Decline and Mortality. In some stands there was a strong tendency for trap catches to be particularly high near certain trees. Seasonal trends and sex ratios were compared with published reports of H. radicis activity in Michigan.

Field Monitoring Of X-Disease Leafhopper Vectors (Homoptera: Cicadellidae) And Infected Chokecherry In Michigan Peach And Cherry Orchards, Kirk J. Larsen, Mark E. Whalon
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Populations of leafhopper vectors of X-disease, a major disease problem of the Michigan peach industry, were monitored by yellow sticky board traps and sweepnet samples during 1985 and 1986. Abundance of known leafhopper vectors varied throughout the stone fruit belt of Michigan, with Paraphlepsius irroratus common in the southwest Lower Peninsula, but representing 73.1 % of all known vectors found. Other commonly found vectors included Scaphytopius acutus (22%), Colladonus clitellarius (1.5'k). and Norvellina seminuda (3.4%). Yellow sticky boards were the best monitoring method used. accounting for 90.3% of all vectors captured. The appearance of X-disease symptoms on chokecherry throughout the …

Insecticide And Growth Regulator Effects On The Leafminer, Liriomyza Trifolii (Diptera: Agromyzidae), In Celery And Observations On Parasitism, E. Grafius, J. Hayden
The Great Lakes Entomologist
The effects of different insecticides were compared on survival and development of the leafminer, L. trifolii, in celery in Michigan and parasitism was assessed in this non- resident population. Avermectin, thiocyclam, and cyromazine effectively controlled L. trifolii larvae or prevented successful emergence as adults. Moderate to high levels of resistance to permethrin and chlorpyrifos were present. Avermectin caused high mortality of all larval stages and no adults successfully emerged. Thiocyclam caused high mortality to all larval stages, but did not affect adult emergence from the surviving larvae. Cyromazine acted most strongly against early stage larvae before visible mines were …

Movement, Dispersion, And Orientation Of A Population Of The Colorado Potato Beetle, Leptinotarsa Decemlineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), In Eggplant, Charles E. Williams
The Great Lakes Entomologist
Short-term dispersal, dispersion, and orientation of a population of the Colorado potato beetle, Leptinotarsa decemlineata. were examined in a uniformly spaced planting of eggplant using a mark-recapture technique. Recaptures of marked beetles declined throughout the study, the greatest decline occurring 24 h after release. Dispersal of remaining beetles through the field was gradual; beetle numbers declined with distance from the release point during the first 3 days of the study and increased with distance thereafter. Beetles were highly aggregated for 3-4 days after release but were well dispersed for the remainder of the study. Dispersal of aggregated beetles may …

Revisionary Notes On Predaceous Heptageniidae Based On Larval And Adult Associations (Ephemeroptera), W. P. Mccafferty, A. V. Provonsha
The Great Lakes Entomologist
New data indicate that larvae previously described as Spinadis Edmunds and Jensen and Spinadis wallacei Edmunds and Jensen are the larval stage of the prior named adults of Anepeorus simplex (Walsh) and are therefore synonymized. It is highly probable that larvae described as Acanthomola pubescens Whiting and Lehmkuhl represent the larval stage of Anepeorus rusticus McDunnough, but they remain to be reared. Anepeorus sensu novum and Pseudiron are placed in the subfamily Anepeorinae, and Raptoheptagenia (= recently associated Heptagenia cruentata Walsh adults and larvae previously thought to be Anepeorus) is placed in the subfamily Heptageniinae.

Seasonal Correction Factors For The Biotic Index, William L. Hilsenhoff
The Great Lakes Entomologist
For evaluation of streams with the biotic index (BI), samples of arthropods should be collected in the spring before degree day accumulations of mean air temperatures above 4.5°C reach 440° in warm-water streams, and before they reach 1050° in cold-water streams that remain below 20°e. Sampling in the fall may be resumed 60 days after the 440 degree day accumulation in warm-water streams and 45 days after the 1050 degree day accumulation in cold-water streams. Stream temperature had no effect on the BI, except as it affected seasonal differences. Current had less effect on the BI than anticipated, but currents …

Observations Of The Gallery Habits Of Trypodendron Retusum (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) Infesting Aspen In Central Michigan, Steven D. Brewer, Robert A. Beck, Richard A. Roeper
The Great Lakes Entomologist
A monogamous pair of adult Trypodendron retusum construct a gallery system consisting of an entrance tunnel and from two to five lateral tunnels into the sapwood of aspen. Inoculation of the mutualistic fungus Ambrosiella ferruginea by the female beetle, was followed by oviposition in shallow egg cradles. Two instars were observed as the larvae enlarged their cradles. The number of cradles per gallery system was correlated to the length of the gallery system. Progeny adults with a sex ratio of approximately 1:1 emerged from late June to early August to overwinter in the litter.
