“…Based on their feeding activities observed, Mokam et al (2014) recognized three guilds, phytophagous (carpophagous and sap suckers), saprophagous, and carnivores (predators and parasitoids in insects collected from two agroecological zones, Cameroon). Globally, phytophagous insects have been reported to be predominant, representing upto 96.1% of individuals collected in different ecosystems (Gadakar et al, 1990;Dev et al, 2009;Chouangthavy et al, 2017;Atencio et al, 2018;Ghani and Maalik, 2019). Our results obtained in the present study show that phytophagous insects were dominant both in terms of species richnesss and abundance, and are very similar to those reported in different ecosystems.…”

“…Insects are important because of diversity, ecological role, and their influence on agriculture (Adetundan et al, 2005;Premalatha et al, 2011). Though the diversity of insect fauna associated in agroecosystems is well documented (Mokam et al, 2014;Banu et al, 2016;Atencio et al, 2018;Sayuthi et al, 2018;Emmanuel and Anuluwa, 2019), it is still difficult to study the interactions within the ecosystem. In addition, the effects of farming practices for better yield causes phytotoxicity and decline of favourable organisms such as predators, parasitoids, microorganisms and pollinators, particularly indiscriminate use of fertilizers and chemical insecticides (Luckman and Metcalf, 1978;Tilman et al, 2006).…”

The insect fauna associated with agroecosystems include pests, predators, parasitoids, pollinators and non-economic importance species (Mitra et al, 2014;Mokam et al, 2014;Atencio et al, 2018;Ghani et al, 2019;Subedi and Subedi, 2019).…”

Species diversity and abundance of insects associated in an agricultural ecosystem was studied in Bhabar region of district Nainital in Uttarakhand from March 2018 to February 2020. Data revealed a total of 148 insect species belonging to 47 families and nine orders (Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Orthoptera, Hymenoptera, Odonata, Diptera, Dictyoptera, and Phasmida), identified from 2007 specimens. These were classified into five functional trophic groups: phytophagous, predators, omnivores, saprophages and decomposers. The diversity indexes showed significance- Diversity (Hʹ=1.778), Evenness (E=0.9689), and Margalef’s Index (d=1.924). Diversity indices of insect orders showed Lepidoptera to be the most diverse (Hʹ=1.994) with maximum species richness having high Margalef’s index (d=2.607), and dipterans with highest evenness (E=0.9572). A total of 1331 individuals of insect pollinators/ visitors were observed, belonging to 99 species of 5 orders (Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, and Diptera).

Background. One of the main pests of sugarcane are spittlebugs Aeneolamia spp. The use of sticky trap yellow and green colored has been proposed as an alternate monitoring method without definitively determining which color is the most effective. Objective. Evaluate the capture efficiency of colored glue plastic traps on spittlebugs during the sampling period and the general capture of arthropods in sugarcane in Panama. Methodology. The efficiency of sticky traps of yellow, green, blue, white and red colors on spittlebugs populations over time and the general capture of arthropods present in sugarcane in Panama were evaluated. For the observation of spittlebugs in time in ten localities, five traps of the colors mentioned above were established, which were reviewed weekly for four weeks. For the general capture of arthropods, work was carried out in five different locations with an equal number of traps and weeks of observation. Results. In the case of catches in traps associated with the capture time, 2675 individuals of Aeneolamia spp. were captured, where 99% corresponded to Aneolamia lepidior (Fowler) and 1% to Aneolamia reducta (Lallemand). The highest captures were given in yellow traps (52%), followed by green traps (43%), without presenting differences between them but rather an effect of observation time in the capture, which increased from the first week to the fourth. With respect to the general capture of arthropods, 2331 species were found mainly in yellow traps (46.6%) and green traps (41.2%), where 88.4% corresponded to phytophagous insects and less than 10% to predators and parasitoids, with no differences between yellow and green traps in the capture of beneficial insects. Implications. This research implies the importance of integrating alternatives such as sticky plastic traps within the integrated management of the spittlebug in sugar cane. Conclusions. The yellow and green sticky plastic traps turned out to be equally efficient for the capture of spittlebugs species at sampling time, representing an alternative within integrated management programs of the spittlebugs in sugar cane.

The giant sugarcane borer Telchin licus (Drury, 1773) (Lepidoptera: Castniidae) is a day-flying moth pest of sugarcane, pineapples and bananas. To better understand the chemical communication in this species, we examined the morphology of its olfactory system and the chemical composition of its body parts. The ventral surface of the clubbed antennae of T. licus has six morphological types of sensilla: sensilla trichodea, basiconica, chaetica, squamiforma, coeloconica, and auricillica. The telescopic ovipositor shows no evidence of a sexual gland, or female-specific compounds. On the other hand, the midleg basitarsus of males releases (E,Z)-2,13-octadecadienol and (Z,E)-2,13-octadecadienol, which are electroantennographically active in both sexes. These compounds are known female sex pheromones in the Sesiidae family and are male-specific compounds in another castniid moth, although further investigations are necessary to elucidate their ecological role in the Castniidae family.
