Trap Placement

Abstract The stable fly, Stomoxys calcitrans (L.), is a bloodsucking ectoparasite that causes irritation and distress to livestock, wildlife, and humans. Both sexes are vicious blood-feeders that feed on a variety of animals. Optically attractive sticky traps have been used to capture stable flies, and some companies claim that sticky traps can protect animals from the bites of stable flies. To further investigate the protective ability of sticky traps, Home and Garden Mosquito (HGM) traps were selected for evaluations at the University of Florida Horse Teaching Unit (HTU). Broodmares coated with fluorescent dust were either tethered to a post in the center of a paddock or released untethered into a paddock. HGM sticky traps were placed at the four compass points and four selected distances from the paddock center to capture stable flies before (unmarked) or after (marked) they visited the horses. More than 40% of flies captured on traps placed closest to the horses were marked. This indicates that the traps did not prevent the flies from visiting the horses. A percentage of marked and unmarked stable flies showed signs of blood in their guts indicating recent feeding. For unknown reasons, the number of stable flies marked with Signal Green dust exceeded the numbers marked with other colors. Although the HGM traps caught ample numbers of stable flies, the traps did not prevent stable flies from feeding on the horses. More work is needed to determine optimal trap placement and densities required to maximize stable fly management with traps.

AbstractCompetitiveness of laboratory-reared Lucilia cuprina (Wied.) has been examined under field conditions. The separate release of males and females each marked genetically and with fluorescent dust permitted estimates of dispersal, survival and mating competitiveness for both sexes. The ability of males to seek mates and introduce marker genes into a field population did not appear to be impaired as a result of several years of laboratory colonization. Released females were readily inseminated though suitable conditions did not exist for adequate assessment of their ability to produce offspring.

AbstractFemale Culex tarsalis Coquillett trapped in CO2-baited light traps or reared from field-collected pupae were marked with fluorescent dust, released, and recaptured in traps baited with CO2 with or without light. Recaptures of trapped females peaked on the first night of recapture collections. Recaptures of reared females peaked on the first or second night when autogeny rates were low (25–44%) but 2-4 nights later when rates were high (86–88%). It was concluded that autogenous females did not seek blood until after they had oviposited, and that autogenously induced delays in feeding probably influence the extent of virus transmission by C. tarsalis.Stretched follicular tubes indicating recent oviposition were found in 23.4% and 5.2% of empty parous females from shelters and CO2-baited traps, respectively, and in 2.3% of freshly engorged parous females from shelters. Females often failed to blood-feed until at least the second night after oviposition.
