Density and Dispersion of Insect Herbivores on Lamb's-Quarters (Chenopodium Album)
Abstract
dc:descriptionSeven species of leaf-feeding insects were found on lamb's-quarters plants (Chenopodium album L. Chenopodiaceae) in central Illinois. The two most abundant were the microlepidopteran leaf miner Chrysopora lingulacella Clemens (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), which was abundant in sheltered areas in the city, and the common sooty wing skipper, Pholisora catullus Fabricius (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae), which was abundant in open fields. A variety of natural history observations were made for these two insect species, and captive rearing techniques were developed for the leaf miners.
