“…Several potential pleiotrophic effects of the W (=Y)‐linked melanism gene in Papilio glaucus L. (Lepidoptera) showed no costs for melanic versus yellow in adult size, oviposition preferences, fecundity, egg viability, larval survival/growth rates, cold stress tolerance, or postdiapause emergence times. …”

“…The insecticidal activity of Jbtx has been investigated in a variety of insect orders and species, including Blattodea (the cockroaches Blatella germânica, Nauphoeta cinerea, Periplaneta americana e Phoetalia pallida), Bruchidae (Callosobruchus maculatus – cowpea weevil), Diptera (Aedes aegypti – mosquito), Hemiptera (Dysdercus peruvianus – cotton stainer bug; Oncopeltus fasciatus – large milkweed bug, and the kissing bugs Rhodnius prolixus and Triatoma infestans), Lepidoptera (Spodoptera frugiperda – fall army worm) and Orthoptera (Locusta migratoria – locust). …”

“…BACKGROUND: The common cutworm, Spodoptera litura Fabricius is a leaf and fruit feeding generalist insect of the order Lepidoptera and a destructive agriculture pest. The broad host range of the herbivore is due to its ability to downregulate plant defense across different plants. …”

“…Pollinators showed a robust pattern in daily foraging activity, with peak activity during the day, less to no activity at night, and an absence of typically night active Lepidoptera. Abundance and composition of pollinators differed significantly between the years, possibly in response to the extreme heat in one of the years, which may particularly harm muscid flies. …”

The experiments involved four predator density treatments, that is, one, two, three, or four predators of same age, that is, either first‐ or fifth‐instar nymphs, which were exposed to several prey densities. …”
