“…Males also showed migratory behavior in the first two nights after emergence, called the "adaptive dispersal flight" (Duelli 1980), however this does not prevents their mating (Duelli 1984(Duelli , 2001. A similar behavior was reported by Liu et al (2011) with Chrysoperla sinica (Tjeder, 1936), where more females than males were observed migrating. Therefore, the absence of genetic structure in COI gene may indicate that females of C. externa migrate in greater number or more farther than males, increasing the gene flow, once this gene shows the maternally inherited genetic material.…”

The family Chrysopidae is composed of approximately 1,200 species distributed in 80 genera (Freitas & Penny 2001). Larvae and adults exhibit distinct feeding habits, while adults are predators and/or consume pollen, nectar, and honeydew, all larvae are generalist predators. Larvae feed on various insects that are considered agricultural pests, such as aphids, mealybugs, and whiteflies, as well as lepidopteran eggs and larvae (Canard 2001; Freitas 2001; Papas et al. 2011). Green lacewings have a wide geographic distribution, being recorded worldwide except in Antarctica (Brooks & Barnard 1990). The genus Chrysoperla Steinmann, 1964 is one of the most studied green lacewing genera and comprises 36 described species. Only four species of this genus occur

“…C. sinica is also affected by the ecological niche of its host, as well as the environment and its own physiological status (Xu et al, 2002, 2010; Khuhro et al, 2014). Age, mating status, temperature, and humidity affect flight performance and other behaviors (e.g., adult diapause, survival rate, and fecundity) of C. sinica (Xu et al, 2004, 2010; Liu et al, 2011a, b; Chen et al, 2017). Previous observations suggest that prey could alter pre-imaginal development, survival, adult longevity, and fecundity of C. sinica (Khuhro et al, 2012).…”

“…The green lacewing ( Chrysoperla sinica Tjeder, Chrysopidae: Neuroptera) is widely recognized as a natural enemy of insect pests that are important to various cropping systems (e.g., maize–wheat–maize, cotton–wheat, and wheat–rice). Adult green lacewings are frequently employed for augmentation of biological control (McEwen, 2010; Liu et al, 2011b; Ragsdale et al, 2011). Honey-dew and floral nectar are the preferred food for adult lacewings, while nymphs feed on aphids, planthoppers, coccids, mites, whiteflies, eggs, and early-instar larvae of lepidopterans, as well as many other soft-bodied arthropods (Winterton and Freitas, 2010; Xu et al, 2010).…”

Chrysoperla sinica (Tjeder) is widely recognized as an important holometabolous natural enemy of various insect pests in different cropping systems and as a non-target surrogate in environmental risk assessment of Bt rice (i.e., genetically modified rice to express a toxin gene from Bacillus thuringiensis). Like other complex organisms, abundant microbes live inside C. sinica; however, to date, microbiome composition and diversity of the whole life cycle in C. sinica has not yet been well characterized. In the current study, we analyze the composition and biodiversity of microbiota across the whole life cycle of C. sinica by using high-throughput Illumina sequencing of the 16S ribosomal RNA gene. Collectively, Proteobacteria and Firmicutes dominated the microenvironment at all stages, but their relative abundances fluctuated by host developmental stage. Interestingly, eggs, neonates, and adults shared similar microbes, including an abundance of Rickettsia and Wolbachia. After larva feeding, Staphylococcus, Enterobacteriaceae, and Serratia were enriched in larvae and pupa, suggesting that food may serve as a major factor contributing to altered microbial community divergence at different developmental stages. Our findings demonstrated that C. sinica harbor a variety of bacteria, and that dynamic changes in community composition and relative abundances of members of its microbiome occur during different life cycle stages. Evaluating the role of these bacterial symbionts in this natural enemy may assist in developing environmental risk assessments and novel biological control strategies.

“…They consume pollen, nectar, insect eggs, and younger larvae during its adult stage [14]. Lacewing is commercially produced in many countries for use as a biological agent against a wide range of pests, particularly in China [16]. Thus far, little information is available about azadirachtin effects on C. sinica although its effects on other lacewings were reported.…”

Metabolic Changes in Larvae of Predator Chrysopa sinica Fed on Azadirachtin-Treated Plutella xylostella Larvae

et al. 2022

Biological control is a key component of integrated pest management (IPM). To suppress pests in a certain threshold, chemical control is used in combination with biological and other control methods. An essential premise for using pesticides in IPM is to ascertain their compatibility with beneficial insects. Chrysopa sinica (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) is an important predator of various pests and used for pest management. This study was intended to analyze metabolic changes in C. sinica larvae after feeding on azadirachtin-treated Plutella xylostella (Lepidoptera, Plutellidae) larvae through a non-targeted LC–MS (Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry） “based metabolomics analysis. Results showed that C. sinica larvae did not die after consuming P. xylostella larvae treated with azadirachtin. However, their pupation and eclosion were adversely affected, resulting in an impairment in the completion of their life cycle. Feeding C. sinica larvae with azadirachtin-treated P. xylostella larvae affected over 10,000 metabolites across more than 20 pathways, including the metabolism of amino acids, carbohydrates, lipid, cofactors, and vitamins in C. sinica larvae, of which changes in amnio acid metabolism were particularly pronounced. A working model was proposed to illustrate differential changes in 20 metabolites related to some amino acid metabolisms. Among them, 15 were markedly reduced and only five were elevated. Our results suggest that azadirachtin application may not be exclusively compatible with the use of the predator C. sinica for control of P. xylostella. It is recommended that the compatibility should be evaluated not only based on the survival of the predatory insects but also by the metabolic changes and the resultant detrimental effects on their development.
