Green Chafer Beetle - Anomala cupripes

Distribution: Southern China

Body size: 18 – 30 mm

Anomala cupripes Hope, a common and important chafer injures many fruit trees, forest, cereal and ornamental crops. Its larvae feed on plant roots while the adults aggregate and feed on foliage. This insect occurs mainly between June and August each year.

Ecological habits:
Adults often 4 to 8 months there. 5 ~ which is a peak in July, egg powder produced in the territories, egg stage 13 ~ on the 19th after hatching of larvae to humic for food, often in the compost can be found in the larvae. Application of compost will be brought into larvae Tanaka. Larvae in the ground in winter. 3 to May the following year pupate. Adults are activities day and night, becoming light of the lamps in attracting insects can often trap to a large number of adults.

Lychee Stink Bug – Tessaratoma papillosa

Distribution: Southern China, SE Asia

Body length: 20-24 mm

Adult feeding of the stink bug, Tessaratoma papillosa Drury occurred on flowering, tender and tough branches of the host-plant, litchi. However, their feeding behavior in their pre-overwintering and reproductive stages was obviously different. 50%～70%and 100%of adults fed on all the three kinds of branches in their pre-overwintering and reproductive stages, respectively. Placed on these branches, the pre-feeding period of the stink bugs at pre-overwintering stage was longer than that at reproductive stage. The feeding behavior of the stink bugs on different kinds of branches differed greatly. The pre-feeding period of the stink bugs on flowering or tender branches was much shorter than that on tough one. The stink bugs preferred feeding flowering and tender branches in the choice test. The contents of water, nitrogen and soluble sugars in flowering and tender branches were higher than that in tough one and the content of soluble sugars in all three types of branches varied during the reproductive stage of the stink bug. Tender and flowering branches differed from tough one in morphology and histology.

Rice Locust - Oxya chinensis

Found in eastern Asia, occasionally a serious pest of rice, also attacks other crops

Locust (family Tetrigidae, order Orthoptera) has a distinctive pronotum that extends back over all of the abdomen, often tapering to a point. Females lay eggs in damp soil. Can be found worldwide, mainly in warmer regions. On bare or sparsely covered ground in moist, wooded areas and the edges of bogs and lakes.

Blue Bottle Fly - Calliphora vomitoria

Order: Diptera
Suborder: Brachycera
Infraorder: Muscomorpha
Subsection: Calyptratae
Superfamily: Oestroidea
Family: Calliphoridae
Subfamily: Calliphorinae
Tribe: Calliphorini
Genus: Calliphora
Species: C. vomitoria

The blue bottle fly or bottlebee (Calliphora vomitoria) is a common blow-fly found in most areas of the world and is the type species for the genus Calliphora.

It is 10-14 mm long, slightly larger than a housefly. The head and thorax are dull gray and the abdomen is bright metallic blue with black markings. Its body and legs are covered with black bristle-like hair. The eyes are red and the wings are clear. The legs and antennae are black.

Life cycle

A female blue bottle fly lays her eggs where she feeds, usually in decaying meat, garbage, or feces. Pale whitish larvae, commonly called maggots, soon hatch from the eggs and immediately begin feeding on the decomposing matter where they were hatched. After a few days of feeding, they are fully grown. At that time they will crawl away to a dry place where they can burrow into soil or similar matter to pupate into tough brown coccoons. After two or three weeks, the adults emerge to mate, beginning the cycle again. During cold weather, pupae and adults can hibernate until warmer temperatures revive them.

They are pollinators of some flowers with a strong odor such as skunk cabbage and goldenrod.

American Cockroach (Periplaneta americana, family Blattidae, order Blattodea): It is often used in laboratories because it is easy to culture. Originally from Africa, it is now found worldwide. They are highly active, can run very fast, and fly in hot conditions. They usually hide during the day, coming out to feed after dark. They eat a range of organic matter and food scraps, regurgitating already digested food and leaving behind their faeces and a characteristic unpleasant smell. Males may have special glands on their back, which secrete chemicals that lure a mate into a suitable position for copulation. Females can produce up to 50 egg cases, each containing 12-14 eggs. The egg cases may be deposited on, buried in, or stuck to a variety of surfaces. ***
