Abstract/Contents: | Presents a three-year study conducted to "determine the seasonal life history of Larra bicolor in the northern Gulf Coast." Explains that "from 2006 to 2008, wasps were monitored on four sites in south Mississippi. Across all sites, wasps were generally active during June through october, with an additional month of activity in fall 2007." Describes the methods used during the study. Reports that "although the impact of insecticides on L. bicolor have not been evaluated, turf managers wanting to conserve these biological controls should consider making insecticide applications later in the day as numbers of foraging wasps wane." |
