| Abstract/Contents: | "Between 1920 and 1950, USDA entomologists imported and released several species of parasitoid wasps to control and confine the expansion of Japanese beetles (Popilla japonica Newman) within the Northeastern United States. Of these wasps, the Spring Tiphia (Tiphia vernalis Rohower) was most successful at establishing a widespread distribution, however in Connecticut the establishment of wasp colonies was low (3%) (Fig. 1). Since the late 1940's the distribution of T. vernalis in Connecticut has not been monitored and some literature has suggested that their occurrence in the state is rare. This study was undertaken to determine the distribution and timing of T. vernalis in Connecticut. Since golf courses tend to support high densities of Japanese beetle larvae, which are parasitized by T. vernalis, our efforts were focused on these sites. Wasps were collected from low-lying leaves lining fairways on calm sunny mornings during May and early June. T. vernalis adults were collected from every county in Connecticut suggesting that they not only established themselves, but proliferated extensively. Their mean peak population density was seen during the fourth week of May (Table 1). While adult wasps were abundant, parasitized beetle larvae were not found and more extensive larval sampling may be necessary." |
