Some Laboratory Investigations of the Light Reactions of the Larvae of Neodiprion americanus banksianae Roh. and N. lecontei (Fitch) (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae)1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  31 May 2012

Extract

This paper deals with two sawfly species, Neodiprion americanus banksianae Roh. and N. lecontei (Fitch), important defoliators of pines in eastern North America. It is concerned chiefly with the reactions of the larvae to light and forms part of an investigation of their behaviour in response to physical factors of the environment.
