Abstract/Contents: | "Seasonal flights and egg-hatch of the tawny mole cricket (Scapteriscus vicinus Scudder) and southern mole cricket (S. borellii Giglio-Tos) were monitored (1995-1998) at two sites in southeastern North Carolina. Flying adults were captured using standard paired acoustic trapping stations. Egg-hatch was monitored weekly during the hatch season using a soapy water solution to bring nymphs to the soil surface. Peaks in the annual flight activity of both species occurred in the spring and fall. Spring flights represented 78.8±10.0 and 88.8±3.7% of the overall annual flight activity for S. vicinus and S. borellii, respectively. S. vicinus flights were earlier and had a shorter spring flight period than S. borellii in most cases. Timing of median spring flights for S. vicinus were similar to the timing of median flights reported in central Georgia. Median spring flights of S. borellii were 2-4 wk later than reported in Georgia, suggesting that flight activity of this species may be correlated with latitude. Significant differences were noted in the timing of flight between sites and among years, but no consistent trends were evident for both species. Flight and nymph count data were used to identify when 25, 50, and 75% cumulative spring flight and hatch had occurred. These data were examined to determine if the timing of flight was correlated with the date, soil degree-days, and hatch. Julian date and degree-day accumulations at 25,50, and 75% flight show varying degrees of correlation with S. borellii hatch, and an equation predicting median hatch date is presented. The relationship between total spring flight counts, nymph population levels and damage were also examined. The number of flying adults trapped in spring was not correlated with either previous or subsequent nymph population levels, or damage levels occurring later in the season." |
