“…Our results clearly showed that long daylight period with high light intensity are beneficial to the life history of H. variegata, as with many other Coleoptera species (Aksit et al, 2007). intensity (Wang et al, 2013c). Our previous work showed that mating preference and copulatory behavior varied according to seasonal environment could be observed in another temperate-zone predatory ladybird, Harmonia axyridis (Pallas) (Wang et al, 2009(Wang et al, , 2013a.…”

“…Study of the aphidophagous ladybird Coelophora saucia (Mulsant) has shown a higher mating frequency with shorter mating periods when they are exposed to a long day length of white light (Pathak, 2006). Our previous work has shown that high intensity of light with long wavelengths (red end of the spectrum) increases the locomotory activities of the predatory flower bug Orius sauteri (Poppius) (Wang et al, 2013c). In terms of light regulation in assisting greenhouse vegetable plant production, it is advantageous to investigate the effects of light on insects within agricultural systems (Ehret et al, 1989;Hao & Papadopoulos, 1999).…”

Light is regarded a key environmental cue influencing biological, physiological, and behavioral characteristics in insects. We compared the development, reproduction, locomotion, and predation ability of the predatory ladybird Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) under various photoperiods, light intensities, and light wavelengths. The results indicated long daylight, high light intensity, and particular colors light (blue, green, and yellow) could benefit H. variegata especially in shortening the period of immature development, increasing mating frequency (shorter mating and pre-oviposition periods), higher fecundity, and a higher proportion of eggs hatched. Average locomotion speed and prey consumption rate of H. variegata increased with prolonged day length and increased light intensity. However, very high intensity of light could inhibit predation rates. Furthermore, green and yellow wavelength conditions increased locomotion speed of H. variegata, and the number of prey consumed increased with increased wavelength. The present study not only revealed significant influences of light conditions on the development and fertility of H. variegata, it also provided sufficient empirical data to improve the efficiency of mass rearing and field releases of this predatory ladybird by regulation of light conditions during biological control applications.

“…Light can influence the physiology, behaviour, and reproduction of insects, especially nocturnal insects22232425, and these influences may vary depending on the wavelength of the light1927. Numerous studies have discussed the ecological impacts of light on insects, including disturbances of biological rhythms, orientation, and migration, and of basal activities such as foraging and mating behaviours, as well as effects on reproductive success182427. However, the effects of light on nocturnal insects at the molecular level are largely unknown because of a lack of genomic information.…”

“…Light, as an important environmental signal, may affect e.g. metabolism, reproduction, development, vision and locomotion181920, though these effects are complex and vary among species202122. Furthermore, exposure of animals to irregular light environments may alter their visual environment and thus their vision and related activities232425.…”

Light is an important environmental signal for most insects. The Oriental Armyworm, Mythimna separata, is a serious pest of cereal crops worldwide, and is highly sensitive to light signals during its developmental and reproductive stages. However, molecular biological studies of its response to light stress are scarce, and related genomic information is not available. In this study, we sequenced and de novo assembled the transcriptomes of M. separata exposed to four different light conditions: dark, white light (WL), UV light (UVL) and yellow light (YL). A total of 46,327 unigenes with an average size of 571 base pairs (bp) were obtained, among which 24,344 (52.55%) matched to public databases. The numbers of genes differentially expressed between dark vs WL, dark vs UVL, dark vs YL, and UVL vs YL were 12,012, 12,950, 14,855, and 13,504, respectively. These results suggest that light exposure altered gene expression patterns in M. separata. Putative genes involved in phototransduction-fly, phototransduction, circadian rhythm-fly, olfactory transduction, and taste transduction were identified. This study thus identified a series of candidate genes and pathways potentially related to light stress in M. separata.

“…Apart from the widely known diapause phenomenon [4, 5], photoperiod influences various behaviors such as egg hatching, flight, locomotion, feeding, courtship, and mating [6, 7]. For instance, walking, foraging, and oviposition of Frankliniella occidentalis Pergande are increased with increasing time of illumination but reduced in continuous darkness [8].…”

Adult Tea Green Leafhoppers, Empoasca onukii (Matsuda), Change Behaviors under Varying Light Conditions

Insect behaviors are often influenced by light conditions including photoperiod, light intensity, and wavelength. Understanding pest insect responses to changing light conditions may help with developing alternative strategies for pest control. Little is known about the behavioral responses of leafhoppers (Hemiptera: Cicadellidae) to light conditions. The behavior of the tea green leafhopper, Empoasca onukii Matsuda, was examined when exposed to different light photoperiods or wavelengths. Observations included the frequency of locomotion and cleaning activities, and the duration of time spent searching. The results suggested that under normal photoperiod both female and male adults were generally more active in darkness (i.e., at night) than in light. In continuous darkness (DD), the locomotion and cleaning events in Period 1 (7:00–19:00) were significantly increased, when compared to the leafhoppers under normal photoperiod (LD). Leafhoppers, especially females, changed their behavioral patterns to a two day cycle under DD. Under continuous illumination (continuous quartz lamp light, yellow light at night, and green light at night), the activities of locomotion, cleaning, and searching were significantly suppressed during the night (19:00–7:00) and locomotion activities of both females and males were significantly increased during the day (7:00–19:00), suggesting a shift in circadian rhythm. Our work suggests that changes in light conditions, including photoperiod and wavelength, can influence behavioral activities of leafhoppers, potentially affecting other life history traits such as reproduction and development, and may serve as a method for leafhopper behavioral control.
