AbstractPine beauty moth, Panolis flammea (Denis & Schiffermüller), is a recent but persistent pest of lodgepole pine plantations in Scotland, but exists naturally at low levels within remnants and plantations of Scots pine. To test whether separate host races occur in lodgepole and Scots pine stands and to examine colonization dynamics, allozyme, randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and mitochondrial variation were screened within a range of Scottish samples. RAPD analysis indicated limited long distance dispersal (FST = 0.099), and significant isolation by distance (P < 0.05); but that colonization between more proximate populations was often variable, from extensive to limited exchange. When compared with material from Germany, Scottish samples were found to be more diverse and significantly differentiated for all markers. For mtDNA, two highly divergent groups of haplotypes were evident, one group contained both German and Scottish samples and the other was predominantly Scottish. No genetic differentiation was evident between P. flammea populations sampled from different hosts, and no diversity bottleneck was observed in the lodgepole group. Indeed, lodgepole stands appear to have been colonized on multiple occasions from Scots pine sources and neighbouring populations on different hosts are close to panmixia.

A greenhouse test and two field tests were conducted to determine if a dye method of marking the fat body using Red Calco Dye could be used to identify adult tobacco budworms, Heliothis virescens (F.), and the bollworms, H. zea (Boddie), that had developed as larvae primarily on Geranium dissectum L. In a greenhouse trial, 73% of 22 adult tobacco budworms contained internal red dye after larvae fed on geranium plants treated with 10 ml of a dye mixture per plant (1% dye + 9% crude cottonseed oil + 90% water). No dye was detected in adults from larvae reared on untreated plants. One field was first infested with neonate tobacco budworms, and then treated with the dye mixture. Marked adults were caught in blacklight traps over a 13-day period. A second field of wild geranium, being ca. 11% of the total geranium in the immediate area, was treated with the dye mixture without artificial infestation. From the first to last marked adult caught in pheromone traps, 6.8% of the bollworms and 8.3% of the tobacco budworms contained internal red dye.

AbstractEfficiencies of light and pheromone traps were estimated from captures of moths emerging from pupae in the center of circular arrays of traps up to 200 m in radius. Light traps captured 1 insect for every 3.6 that passed through a linear meter at the trap, an efficiency factor of 0.28. This factor was constant for different insect densities. The pheromone traps were 3.5 times as efficient as light traps based on the captures of males only. The low efficiencies imply that the traps have a small zone of influence and several may be needed in a limited area to produce catches within reasonable confidence limits when populations are sparse and detection of increasing numbers has the greatest value.
