Abstract/Contents: | "Life history of the northern mole cricket, Neocurtilla hexadactyla (Perty), was elucidated from a sample of 432 individuals collected from Carolina-bay habitats. Terrestrial drift fences with pitfall traps were an effective sampling technique. Juveniles emerged from subterranean nests in June and July and overwintered in an immature stage. They matured the following summer and presumably mated in the autumn at 16-18 months of age. Females were larger in body size than males but relative forewing length was the same. Females underwent vitellogenesis in spring and oviposition presumably occurred in May and June. Eggs deposited in laboratory containers were found in a single underground chamber and were attended by the female. Sex ratio of the sample was skewed 3:1 in favor of females. Adults and juveniles were found during all months of the year. The life cycle of N. hexadactyla was semivoltine in South Carolina." |
