“…They can affect the sexual reproduction of lepidopteran hosts, such as cytoplasmic incompatibility (CI) in Hypolimnas bolina and Polygonia calbum (Hornett et al., 2006 ; Kodandaramaiah et al., 2013 ), male killing (MK) in Acraea encedon and Ostrinia moths (Dyson et al., 2002 ; Fukui et al., 2015 ), feminization induction (FI) in Eurema hecabe (Kageyama et al., 2008 ) and parthenogenesis in Tuta absoluta (Erasmus et al., 2022 ). The Wolbachia can also affect various life‐history traits and impact on lepidopteran host biology, such as effects on longevity of Talicada nyseus (Ankola et al., 2013 ), fecundity of Ectropis grisescens (Zhang et al., 2021 ) and resistance to insecticides in Chilo suppressalis (Lei et al., 2020 ). Additionally, Wolbachia may cause mitochondrial introgression between sibling species or a selective sweep through a population, and drive a mito‐nuclear discordance between the host mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies (Jiang et al., 2018 ; Narita et al., 2006 ; Toews & Brelsford, 2012 ; Zhu et al., 2023 ).…”

Wolbachia, one of the most ubiquitous heritable symbionts in lepidopteran insects, can cause mitochondrial introgression in related host species. We recently found mito‐nuclear discordance in the Lepidopteran tribe Tagiadini Mabille 1878 from which Wolbachia has not been reported. In this study, we found that 13 of the 46 species of Tagiadini species tested were positive for Wolbachia. Overall, 14% (15/110) of Tagiadini specimens were infected with Wolbachia and nine new STs were found from 15 isolates. A co‐phylogenetic comparison, divergence time estimation and Wolbachia recombination analysis revealed that mito‐nuclear discordance in Tagiadini species is not mediated by Wolbachia, but Wolbachia acquisition in Tagiadini appears to have occurred mainly through horizontal transmission rather than codivergence.

Laboratory studies were conducted on the development of immature stages, life history and behavior of the Red Pierrot butterfly, Talicada nyseus (Guerin) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) reared on Bryophyllum pinnatum (Lam.) Oken. Fabaceous and succulent plants in Brazil, China, India, Africa, and all tropical countries can be infested by larvae of T. nyseus. The pest had four larval instars and completed its life cycle in 36.95 ± 3.31 days. The mean incubation period of the egg was 3.75 days. The prepupal, pupal, and larval stages' respective mean development times were 1.51 ± 0.50, 8.56 ± 10.65, and 14.23 ± 1.82, days. The length of the larva in its first and last instars was 1.95 ± 0.13 and 15.85 ± 0.93, respectively. In larval stages, there was no apparent relationship between length and width. The sex ratio was 1.39:1 in favor of females. One day following eclosion, adults were prepared for mating. The ovaries of the adult female held 75.1 eggs. Male and female butterflies who were not fed lived only three to five days instead of eleven to fourteen days like those who had access to water. The findings of this study will be helpful in developing Integrated Pest Management tactics to combat this pest.
