Effect of Ingestion Exposure of Selected Insecticides on and (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).

The sensitivity to thiacloprid and lambda-cyhalothrin ingested from prey organisms was studied in and , since the effect of ingestion exposure to these insecticides is unknown in these species. All developmental stages of the ladybirds were fed on treated with half or full field rate of the insecticides. Almost all instars were killed within 3 h of the start of ingestion of lambda-cyhalotrin-treated prey.

(Alph.Wood) Alph.Wood Microcuttings as a Source of Volatiles Potentially Responsible for Insects' Respond.

Rare carnivorous plants representing the genus are perceived as very interesting to scientists involved in various fields of botany, ethnobotany, entomology, phytochemistry and others. Such high interest is caused mainly by the unique capacity of spp. to attract insects.

The Effects of Locality and Host Plant on the Body Size of (Thysanoptera: Aeolothripidae) in the Southwest of Poland.

is a thrips predator often found in phytocoenoses worldwide. Both the adults and larvae of this species prey on small invertebrates, including phytophagous species from Thysanoptera group. The aim of this study was to determine the morphological variability of the relative to the locality and, indirectly, to the species of host plant.
