“…Damage symptom? on young plants normally appear from March to May and resemble those caused by slugs (Savage, 1977) or wireworms (Gemmill, 1927). Quite often, farmers only become aware of bibionid larvae in a crop when they find them at, or near, the soil surface immediately prior to pupation.…”

Records of crop damage caused by Bibionidae are reviewed together with evidence for their beneficial activities, natural enemies and control methods. Bibionids are sporadic and infrequent pests. Although grass and cereals are most vulnerable, a wide range of crops is attacked. Damage is most severe after grass or when plants are under stress. The presence of organic matter during ovjposition increases the likelihood of damaging populations. Many natural enemies exist but their impact on adult or larval populations has not been quantified. Given the pattern of attacks and lack of approved insecticides, cultural control methods are more appropriate than chemical. The role of adult bibionids in pollination and of larvae involved in soil processes could be of greater importance than any damage caused by the group.

“…In Europe similar crop damage has been more frequently attributed to larvae of the genus Bibio. The most recent records of extensive damage to cereals, mainly winter barley in the U.K. by Bibio larvae (B. johannis (L.I and B. hortulanus (L.)) were reported by Savage (1977).…”
