Entomologists recognize the good done by beneficial insects as well as the injury done by harmful ones. Predators, parasites, and pollinators are the most important beneficial insects. 3. Everyone recognizes the familiar ladybug, or ladybird beetle. Many species have an enormous appetite for aphidsone of our most common plant pests. Others prefer scale insects and mites and are very effective in reducing infestations. 4. Ladybug larvae are equally relentless predators. Their colorful, but ferocious appearance often causes unknowing gardeners to assume that they must be harmful. Nothing could be further from the truth. 5. The praying mantis is another widely-recognized insect predator. Nymphs and adults alike lie in wait for an unlucky insect which strays too close, then strike out to grab it with their modified front legs. 6. Ambush bugs use the same lie-in-wait tactic. Notice that their front legs are also enlarged and modified. The bright yellow colors of this species camouflage them in their favorite hideoutgoldenrod flower. 7. The larvae of common lacewings are miniature monsters when viewed at close range. They are deadly enemies of small caterpillars, aphids, and other soft-bodied insects.

Print of Costa Rica by Christopher Baker ; created 1995 The long history of the rainforest has enabled countless butterflies, moths, ants, termites, wasps, bees, and other tropical insects to evolve in astounding profusion. There are many thousands of ant species alone. Corcovado National Park alone has at least 220 species of breeding butterflies, plus others that simply pass through. And there are so many species of beetles and grasshoppers that no one knows the true numbers. Many, many thousands of insect species still await identification. The most brilliantly painted insects are the butterflies and moths, some quite tiny and obscure, others true giants of the insect kingdom, dazzlingly crowned in gold and jewel-like colors. In Guanacaste, hundreds of species of bees, moth larvae, and tiger beetles make an appearance in the early dry season. When the first rains come, lightbulbs are often deluged with adult moths, beetles, and other insects newly emerged from their pupae. That's the time, too, that many species of butterfly migrate from the deciduous lowland forests to highland sites.
COLLECTING INSECTS
insects feed on the leaves, stems, roots, flowers and fruit of many horticultural plants, producing directly visible damage or symptoms.

Extractions: COLLECTING INSECTS Entomology 116 Insect Identification David L. Keith Tiffany Heng-Moss Professor of Entomology Asst.Professor of Entomology Where and How to Collect Insects Insects feed on the leaves, stems, roots, flowers and fruit of many horticultural plants, producing directly visible damage or symptoms. Examine plants closely. Look for holes in leaves or ragged leaves near the ends of branches. Turn leaves over to see for sure, especially if you spot any leaf discoloration or stippling patterns. Also check for ant activity they often tend aphids or scale insects whose honeydew (sugary excrement) they love. Look for holes in stems evidence of boring insect activity and insect frass (excrement). Plants damaged by soil insects or stem-borers may wilt in the heat of day and recover somewhat in the evening when the sun goes down. Pull damaged plants and closely examine root systems for signs of insect attack. The best insect collecting is often in diverse habitats. A vegetable or flower garden or landscaped facility such as a park, arboretum or zoo will usually have multiple plantings of many different types of plants. But make sure that you have permission to collect first.

Lawn Insect Management Guidelines--UC IPM
UC home and landscape guidelines for control of Lawn insects.
http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7476.html

Extractions: Insects are not a common cause of residential lawn damage in California, but certain species occasionally damage or kill turfgrass. Insect feeding can cause grass to turn yellow or brown, or die, especially if the grass is already stressed. Damage usually begins in small, scattered patches, which may merge into large dead areas. However, lack of proper cultural care and use of inappropriate grass species in a particular location are more likely responsible for unhealthy or dying lawns than insects. Disease-causing pathogens, excessive or inappropriate use of chemicals such as fertilizers and herbicides , and dog urine also produce damage resembling that of insects. Before taking any insect control action, be sure that it is insects causing the problem and not something else.

As well as habitat and distribution data, it includes tools for climate and environmental reconstruction, and facilities for storing site based abundance/collection data. A variety of searching and reporting functions greatly augment the efficiency of beetle based research. BugsCEP is built around a comprehensive database of beetle ecology and European fossil records which has been accumulated over the past 20 years. The latest version includes numerous non-beetle Quaternary taxa including flies, bugs and ants. It includes bibliographic references for all data. http://www.bugscep.com/ or from the WDC Paleo. BugsCEP will run on any Windows 2000 or XP machine (please download the approporiate version), but requires MS Excel for some of the advanced functions. The 2000 version may run on Windows NT4, but has not been tested. Download BugsCEP (Version 30 October 2007): Windows 2000 or Windows XP format. (Note: Large files, 53 MB).
