Plautia stali Scott(Hemiptera: Pentatomidae)is widely distributed in Japan. Plautia stali damages fruit trees, and the primary control method is to spray insecticides based on monitoring and predicting the abundance of P. stali. Plautia stali overwinters and develops in coniferous trees and then flies to orchards. In this study, we aimed to disrupt the behavior of P. stali using artificial vibrations. We examined the behavior of P. stali exposed to different frequencies and accelerations of vibrations under laboratory conditions. Several responses were observed, such as freezing, squatting with bending all legs, and walking. Notably, the responses to vibrations at 150 and 500 Hz were induced by low accelerations. Next, we attached an electromagnetic shaker to the base of a citrus tree and observed the responses of P. stali. The responses were similar to those in the laboratory test. Moreover, when several citrus seedlings were branched via jigs and vibrated simultaneously, adults also responded to the vibrations. In order to develop optimal methods for vibrational application, further studies on the control of the feeding behavior of P. stali and the effects of substrate-borne vibrations on fruit trees are required.

The First Isolation of Microsporidia from Dragonflies Abstract: Entomopathogenic microsporidia are pathogens of various arthropods and therefore cause disease in important host species ranging from agricultural pests to beneficial insects. Here, we investigated three genera of en tomopathogenic microsporidia from dragonflies ; these were isolated in Kanagawa, Japan, in 2014. In total, the infec tion rate was 0.85% ( 16 of the 1,886 surveyed dragonfly adults ) . Four strains of microsporidia selected from infected Orthetrum albistylum speciosum ( Uhler )( Odonata: Libellulidae ) adults were measured for spore size and analyzed at the molecular level. According to spore size, the four strains were roughly divided into two groups. Analysis of small-subunit ribosomal RNA sequences indicated that the microsporidia strains belonged to the Trachipleistophora , Vavraia , and Paranosema clusters. Microsporidia species that are closely related to the strains isolated in this study have previ ously been reported to infect insects other than dragonflies. Therefore, we suggest the possibility that the microsporid ian strains we isolated in O. albistylum speciosum may also infect other insect species.

Acetylated glyceride(AG)is a unique pesticide composed of food additives that regulate insect behaviors. Our previous findings showed a reduction in male courtship songs and courting pairs on AG-treated host leaves, as well as repellence of adult MEAM1(Middle East Asia Minor 1)of Bemisia tabaci(Gennadius)(Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae). Here, we investigated the efficacy of AG on the mutual courtship behaviors of MEDQ1(Mediterranean Q1)B. tabaci, Trialeurodes vaporariorum(Westwood)(Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae), and Liriomyza sativae (Blanchard) (Diptera: Agromyzidae). We acoustically analyzed the courtship and response songs of test pairs on leaves after exchanging AG-treated leaves with non-treated leaves. Sexual communication and the rate of mating success for MEDQ1 both decreased significantly on treated leaves. A significant reduction in male courtship songs with AG application was also observed in T. vaporariorum. For L. sativae, courtship songs were performed in 88.2% of the test pairs on non-treated leaves, with a mating success rate of 58.8%; in contrast, only 29.6% of the test pairs on the treated leaves produced courtship songs, with a mating success rate of 7.4%. These results suggest that AG negatively influenced the continuity of mutual courtship behavior, which consists of male songs and female response songs.

: The ectoparasitic mite, Varroa destructor Anderson and Trueman ( Mesostigmata: Varroidae ) , causes tre-mendous damage to the beekeeping and pollination industries. These industries rely upon the naïve European honey bee, Apis mellifera L. ( Hymenoptera: Apidae ) , to which the mite has spread from its native host, the Asian honey bee, Apis cerana Fabricius. Researchers around the globe have been building our understanding of the ecology of V. destructor . However, the research has not been regularly reviewed in Japanese, and researchers and beekeepers in Japan have not had access to the most update reports over the past two decades. Here, I review recent developments in the study of the biology and ecology of V. destructor and the resistance of honey bees to the mite in Japanese.
