Athetis lepigone is an emerging highly polyphagous insect pest reported to cause crop damage in several European and Asian countries. However, our understanding of its genetic adaptation mechanisms has been limited due to lack of high-quality genetic resources. In this study, we present a chromosomal-level genome of A. lepigone, representing the first species in the genus of Athetis. We employed PacBio long-read sequencing and Hi-C technologies to generate 612.49 Mb genome assembly which contains 42.43% repeat sequences with a scaffold N50 of 20.9 Mb. The contigs were successfully clustered into 31 chromosomal-size scaffolds with 37% GC content. BUSCO assessment revealed a genome completeness of 97.4% with 96.3 identified as core Arthropoda single copy orthologs. Among the 17,322 genes that were predicted, 15,965 genes were functionally annotated, representing a coverage of 92.17%. Furthermore, we revealed 106 P450, 37 GST, 27 UGT, and 74 COE gene families in the genome of A. lepigone. This genome provides a significant and invaluable genomic resource for further research across the entire genus of Athetis.

Our previous research identified a highly pathogenic to , which spore wall protein plays an important role in the infection process. However, the regulatory mechanism of this spore wall protein is still unclear.

The moth species (Möschler) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), which has recently been identified as a pest of summer maize ( L.) in China, has demonstrated a rapid proliferation with in the Huang-Huai-Hai Plain region since its initial discovery in Hebei Province in 2005. It has become a prevalent pest of corn crops, and its ability to adapt quickly to its surroundings is currently being investigated.

Article Synopsis
- Nocturnal moths are important for pollinating plants, but scientists don't know much about their food choices and how they help with pollination.
- A study looked at moths migrating between regions in China and found that about 20% had pollen stuck to them, showing they can help pollinate plants.
- The research identified 39 different types of pollen from 21 plant families that moths preferred, which varied by the sex of the moth and the time of year, giving new insights into how and where moths pollinate plants.

Article Synopsis
- Migratory insect pests present significant threats to global food production and security, necessitating effective monitoring techniques like searchlight traps.
- Identifying the species of these pests is crucial for forecasting their migration patterns, but visual identification alone is often challenging, requiring detailed analysis of their female reproductive anatomy.
- By examining the ovarian and mating sac structures of various migratory insect species, researchers can gain insights into reproductive development and improve predictions of pest dynamics.
