63. Insects That Damage Wool , habits, and treatment of clothes moths and carpet beetles....... http://www.angelfire.com/mn/FiberHome/WoolBugs.html

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT INSECTS THAT DAMAGE WOOL AND WOOLEN FABRICS Whitney Cranshaw: Department formerly known as Entomology, Colorado State University, Ft. Collins, CO 80523 What insects damage woolens in Colorado? Very few insects have the ability to digest wool. Among the few which do are larvae of the webbing clothes moths (Tineola bisselliella) and the carpet beetles (Dermestidae). In Colorado, carpet beetles are far more common and damaging to woolens than are clothes moths. What does a clothes moth look like? The adult stage of the webbing clothes moth is a small moth with a wing span of about 1/2-inch. It is uniformly pale golden in color with no unusual markings other than black eyes and a coppery tuft of hairs on the top of the head. Webbing clothes moth is a weak flier and rarely leaves dark closets or other storages. The damaging caterpillar stage is associated with woolens or fur. It is a creamy white color but often lives within a silken tube that it constructs. When full grown it may reach 1/2-inch in length. The presence of silk and the pelleted droppings the insect produces are useful for diagnosis of clothes moths.

Entomologists, farmers and chefs who are promoting edible insects, a foodstuff better known in academic circles as Microlivestock. Article, recipes, and nutritional information. http://ohioline.osu.edu/~ohioline/hyg-fact/2000/2160.html

Ohio State University Extension Fact Sheet Entomology 1991 Kenny Road, Columbus, OH 43210-1000 Insects as Human Food (Microlivestock) HYG-2160-96 William F. Lyon The January 2, 1996 Wall Street Journal reported on a "small energetic group of entomologists, farmers and chefs" who are promoting edible insects, a foodstuff better known in academic circles as "Microlivestock." Entomophagy (the eating of insects) has yet to become a day-to-day activity for most people in the United States and Europe in spite of the superior nutritional content of edible insects compared to other animals. Other cultures around the world have made insects a main ingredient in their diets, providing an excellent source of protein. Insects are an inexpensive substitute for meat in many developing countries. In Mexico, grasshoppers and other edible insects are sold by the pound in village markets and are fried before being eaten. Many are sold in cans as fried grasshoppers, chocolate covered ants, etc. Tortillas are served with red and white agave worms in many Mexico city restaurants. Columbian citizens enjoy eating a variety of insects such as termites, palm grubs and ants. Ants are ground up and used as a spread on breads.

Singing Insects of North America by Thomas J. Walker (crickets and katydids) and Thomas E. Moore (cicadas) UNDER CONSTRUCTION construction progress The primary goal of this Web site is to enable users to identify crickets, katydids, and cicadas from America north of Mexico. The males of most species in these groups make loud, persistent calls that attract sexually ready, conspecific females. Because the songs are loud and species specific they are usually an easy means of identifying the caller. They also facilitate field and laboratory studies of many sorts. Secondary goals are to attract amateur and professional biologists to the study of singing insects and to provide helpful information and access to literature.

Bibliography of Insect Parasitic Nematodes Mermithidae Mermithids can be used to control mosquitos Steinernema and Heterorhabditis These nematodes can be used to control garden and lawn insect pests Nematodes as Biological Control Agents of Insects A house fly, Musca domestica , larvae infected with Steinernema feltie Nematodes are considered one of the most abundant groups of living animals, and although morphologicall they are very simple, they have exploited a wide range of diverse habitats including invertebrates (Poinar, 1979). Nematodes can parasitize spiders, leeches, annelids, crustaceans, molluscs, and insects. If the entomopathogenic (insect-parasitic) nematode attacks insect pest; kills or hampers the development of the insect host; and is capable of mass production it can be used as an effective biological control agent (Poinar 1979). We will present information on how entomopathogenic nematodes can be used as biological agents of insects and the taxonomy and systematics of these nematodes.
