Host Selection and Feeding Behavior by the Tarnished Plant Bug, Lygus lineolaris (Hemiptera: Miridae)1

The Perception of Plant Allelochemicals That Inhibit Feeding

“…C. Polyphagous true bug, ~ lineolaris, (Pal. de Beauvois) (Hemiptera: Miridae) with piercing-sucking mouthparts (Hatfield et al, 1983). D. Polyphagous grasshopper, Locusta migratoria, L. (Orthophera: Acrididae) with chewing mouthparts (Bernays 1985 and references therein).…”

Dicyphus agilis(Hemiptera: Miridae), a New Record as Predator of Aphids in Tobacco Crops in Colombia

“…Angelica Plata-Rueda 1 , Luis C. Martínez 2 , José C. Zanuncio 1 , and José E. Serrao 2 * Miridae include several predatory species in Dicyphus, Lygus and Macrolophus, which have been used successfully in integrated pest management programs (Hatfield et al 1983;Fauvel et al 1987;Gabarra et al 1988). These species are zoophytophagous, and they feed on whiteflies, aphids, thrips, mites and eggs of noctuid moths (Hatfield et al 1983;Fauvel et al 1987;Barnadas et al 1998).…”

“…These species are zoophytophagous, and they feed on whiteflies, aphids, thrips, mites and eggs of noctuid moths (Hatfield et al 1983;Fauvel et al 1987;Barnadas et al 1998). The relationship between the abundance of zoophytophagous Miridae and levels of damage is not simple, so each species should be assessed separately in relation to damage in a given crop (Gillespie & McGregor 2000).…”

Olfactory response of Trigonotylus caelestialium (Het.: Miridae) to rice plant and gramineous weeds

“…Sarona mokihana, which live exclusively on Melicope anisata, are attracted to methyl eugenol (Asquith 1994) and methyl eugenol has been identified as a constituent of this plant (Scheuer and Hudgins 1964). Hatfield et al (1983) proposed the model of host selection and feeding by L. lineolaris indicating sensory input.…”
