  1. This, on the other hand, is a glimmer of doom. The #insectageddon has ramifications - not just for insects, but for all species that depend on insects in some ways from fish to birds to mammals, to both crops and wild plants that depend on insects pollination. And the EPA does this because the US #Agricultural industry chooses not to move to less toxic practices for pest control? #IntegratedPestManagement at the more invasive end, #Organic and #RegenerativeAgriculture at the least invasive end are widely practiced. Why do we tolerate #IndustrialAgriculture while knowing about the damage it does?

  3. New on Entomology Today: The elm zigzag sawfly (Aproceros leucopoda) is now established in several places in North America. This non-native forest pest can be a threat to elm species and hybrids and is capable of large defoliation events. A new review highlights elm zigzag sawfly biology, ecology, and management strategies in the U.S. #entomology #insects #IntegratedPestManagement entomologytoday.org/2023/07/20

  4. New on Entomology Today: Coffee berry borer is a key threat to Hawaiian coffee production. A new study shows that frequent harvesting, while more labor intensive than frequent pesticide applications, is worth the effort, resulting in higher yields, better-quality coffee, and greater profits for growers. #entomology #insects #coffee #IntegratedPestManagement entomologytoday.org/2023/07/13
