“…Dynamics of arthropods populations dispersal are important to formulate integrate pest management programs. Insects and mites can be dispersed or disseminated into a new area by wind, water, man and contamined materials, like mechanical implements, plants, and packages, for example (Fraga et al, 2009). Commercial establishments can disseminate insects and mites pests by contamminated plants and seedlings to exotic areas (Ducroquet, 1996;Hickel et al, 1997).…”

Many Brazilian supermarkets offer ornamental and fruit plants for sale, and many become infested by insects and other arthropods during commercialization. This work reflects the importance of knowing the pests that occur in these plants, to verify possible dissemination of these arthropods to other areas. This study was carried out with monthly visits to five supermarkets chosen at random in the Federal District, Brazil. The plants were identified and visually inspected for the presence of insects and other arthropods. The collected specimens were preserved in jars containing 70% alcohol. Their respective levels of infestation and damage were also observed and noted. Each specimen collected was identified according to specific books and keys for each taxonomic group collected. As a result, 65 plants were found to be infested with insects and mites. Of these, 48 contained sucking insects (Hemiptera) and 17 had spider mites (Tetranychus urticae Koch). Although the insects found are relatively common and have already been reported to be associated with several ornamental plants, this is the first work that records the occurrence of arthropods in ornamentals sold in commercial establishments.

“…5) remained there with their larval exuviae for some days before emerging. Fraga et al (2009) reared two species of Coleoptera and one species of Lepidoptera from the same type of packing material in Brazil. They also found adults of three additional species of Coleoptera, including L. serricorne, in those products, but did not report evidence that they had bred there.…”
