Abstract/Contents: | "The objective of this paper is to identify common species of paper wasps (Polistes spp.) attacking fall armyworm (Noctuidae: Spodoptera frugiperda) larvae and to investigate foraging activity in turfgrass. Three species – Polistes exclamans, P. dorsalis, and P. metricus – were collected while they foraged in bermudagrass turf. Polistes wasps forage in turf for about 10 h a day beginning a few hours after sunrise (0830 h), waning near midday, and increasing again in the late afternoon. Wasps were more abundant in plots infested with fall armyworms although these differences were statistically significant in one of three trials. The benefits of Polistes wasps may be conserved by scheduling insecticide applications in the early evening (0700 h or later) or by using reduced-risk insecticides." |
