“…Their life history is not known in great detail, but all species with known biology are parasitoids of thrips eggs (Thysanoptera) and as such, they are potential biological control agents of these pests. At the current state of knowledge of the genus, it is impossible to identify with confidence most of the Megaphragma species (original descriptions lack essential details or illustrations; molecular markers are available for very few species; many species are still undescribed while others were described multiple times). …”

“…In this study, we found that two maize pests, oriental armyworm Mythimna separata and fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda, have different feeding patterns in maize, which are closely associated with the different development patterns of their incisor lobes. …”

“…The use of specific attractants or repellants is one potential method for monitoring or controlling these pests. Chemical ecology studies to develop such tools often use wild or laboratory-reared beetles without first determining whether there are differences in their responses. …”

“…SIMPLE SUMMARY: Trunk-boring insects belong to one of the most destructive forest pests. Larvae in some groups are particularly difficult to detect since they make their living in trunks and no obvious sign can be found from outside. …”

“…Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram-positive soil bacterium that is widely and safely applied in the environment as an insecticide for combatting insect pests that damage crops or are disease vectors. Dominant active ingredients made by Bt are insect-killing crystal (Cry) proteins released as crystalline inclusions upon bacterial sporulation. …”
