because I’ve identified some bugs as the adults of the larvae she feeds her reptiles. the app tells me some of the bugs are in our house specifically because of certain plants she keeps. It also tells me how to protect my side of the house from her antics, and if I am in any dan...
For example, today I was able to identify some green lacewing larvae that were helping my garden rid of aphids. I’ve successfully identified many insects on this app and it even helped me realize that the butterflies I was finding weren’t painted ladies, but a different species. I really...

A simple canopy over an area of soil, over a plant infested with larvae, or over a section of stream or other water area containing immature stages of flying insects will secure the emerging adults (Lammers, 1977). If the trap is equipped with a retaining device (as in the Malaise trap...
“slightly more easily recognizable than usual, based on looking at a couple of obvious characters that you may not actually need a key for once you get to know them”. There areDicraeusspecies on most major continents and the larvae are herbivores, feeding on seeds of grasses. Because ...
Among the possible insect species that can be used in fish feeds, the Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL) Hermetia illucens has been the most studied in the literature [90,97,104,110,111] and has been identified as the most versatile because of the variety of biological wastes that can be us...
the amplitude of the backscattered light received from each gender differs and the signal can be used as a basis for gender identification and discrimination. Sufficient image resolution permitted such systems to distinguish gravid from non-gravid female mosquitoes125. An infrared laser-based optical se...
because various studies have shown that identification to higher taxonomic groupings, or morphologically distinct taxa (morphospecies), is generally sufficient to detect differences in richness and composition over environmental gradients149. Of the 34,317 populations, 84.1% were identified to species leve...
Phytophagous insect larvae feed on plants containing secondary metabolic products with biological activity against other predatory organisms. Phytophagous insects can use their specialised metabolic systems to covert these secondary metabolic products in
Grapevine (Vitis) is one of the world’s most valuable fruit crops, but insect herbivory can decrease yields. Understanding insect herbivory resistance is critical to mitigating these losses. Vitis labrusca, a wild North American grapevine species, has b
