New Data on the Insects (Orthoptera, Heteroptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera) Feeding on Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. (Asteraceae) in the South of the Russian Far East

Abstract: New information is provided on the insects (Orthoptera, Heteroptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera) collected from the common ragweed Ambrosia artemisiifolia L. in the south of the Russian Far East (Primorskii Territory), their trophic relationships, and damage caused to the plant. Observations in stationary cages mounted on ragweed plants have revealed the phytophagous species adapted to feeding and developing on this weed and damaging it: Apolygus lucorum (M.-D.) (development on ragweed from oviposition to adult), Eurydema dominulus (Scop.), Graphosoma rubrolineatum (Westw.), Palomena viridissima (Poda) (from the IV or V instar nymph to adult) (Heteroptera); Chlorissa obliterata (Walk.), Ectropis excellens (Butl.), Phthonosema tendinosaria (Brem.), Mocis annetta (Butl.), and Helicoverpa armigera (Hbn.) (from the last instar larva to pupa or adult) (Lepidoptera). © 2022, Pleiades Publishing, Ltd.
