auraria males might be susceptible to mating disruption. Additionally, preliminary data obtained from small-scale field trials suggested that P. In fact, recently this blend was successfully tested in Southern areas of Chile. auraria populations from central Chile was reported by our group : tetradecyl acetate (14:OAc), E11-14:OAc, ( Z)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (Z11-14:OAc), and E11-14:OH, in a relative ratio of 11:100:1:37. However, a significantly more attractive 4-component sex pheromone for P. auraria monitoring in Chile was conducted using pheromone lures for the tufted apple bud moth (TBM), Platynota ideausalis Walker (Tortricidae) containing a 1:1 ratio of E11-14:OAc and E11-14:OH. auraria pheromone established a 7:3-ratio of ( E)-11-tetradecenyl acetate (E11-14:OAc) and ( E)-11-tetradecenol (E11-14:OH) as the main components, whereas Roelofs and Brown reported only the alcohol as the sex pheromone. auraria males for timing insecticide applications has been conducted in Chile using pheromone-baited traps. For this reason, many growers currently rely on different insecticides (e.g., Bacillus thuringiensis, organophosphates, etc.) as the most common pre-harvest tactic used against this pest. auraria within the list of new pests representing a risk of introduction to different new areas importing plants and fresh fruits from South America. However, the most important economic impact is due to its quarantine status, frequently causing rejections of Chilean fresh fruits for export when immature stages (mainly larvae) are found during fruit inspections after harvest. Larvae also feed on the fruit epidermis, and cause surface tunneling, which makes the fruits unmarketable, and facilitates the development of saprophagous insects (e.g., Drosophila melanogaster Meigen) or fungal diseases (e.g., Botrytis cinerea Pers.). The larvae cause damage by folding foliage and eating flowers, reducing the photosynthetic potential, the canopy development, and the fruit set. and Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller)), the decreasing amount of natural enemies due to insecticide use, and/or replacement of the original vegetation including P. This is probably due to changes in management tactics for other pests (e.g., withdrawal of insecticide applications because of increasing use of mating disruption against Cydia pomonella L. auraria has become a key pest in some vineyards and orchards in Chile. auraria or Proeulia sp, include citrus, figs, grapes, kiwifruits, loquats, pome fruits, pomegranates, stone fruits, and walnuts several native plants (e.g., Ugni molinae Turcz), weeds (e.g., Galega officinalis L.), and ornamental trees (e.g., Platanus orientalis L.). It is a polyphagous insect that has moved from native hosts to exotic plants the hosts reported for either P. Proeulia auraria is the economically most important species of the Genus Proeulia, endemic to Chile. The species is also mentioned in the literature from Argentina but restricted to Chile based on the Centre for Agricultural and Bioscience International, therefore considered a native moth. The Chilean fruit or pear leafroller, Proeulia auraria (Clarke) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Tortricinae), is distributed in Chile, from Atacama (coordinates −27.37, −70.33) to Los Lagos (−41.47, −72.94). As far as we know, this is the first report on MD development against a South American tortricid pest. auraria, needing now the development of a commercial product and the strategy (and protocols) necessary to control this pest in conventional and organic orchards in Chile. Furthermore, mating disruption (MD) field trials showed that application of 250 pheromone point sources using the dispenser wax matrix SPLAT (Specialized Pheromone and Lure Application Technology, 10.5% pheromone) with a total of 78 g/ha of the blend described above resulted in trap shutdown immediately after application, and mating disruption >99% in all orchards for at least 5 months. No or low adult activity was observed during January and between late May and late August. Using this blend, we studied the phenology of adult males in vineyards, apple, and blueberry orchards, identifying two long flight cycles per season, lasting from September to May and suggesting 2–3 generations during the season. We concluded that septa loaded with 200 μg of E11-14:OAc + 60 μg E11-14:OH allowed for efficient trap captures for up to 10 weeks. Using synthetic pheromone compounds, we conducted field trials to optimize the blend for monitoring, and to determine the activity period of rubber septa aged under field conditions. The leafroller Proeulia auraria (Clarke) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) is a native, polyphagous, and growing pest of several fruit crops in Chile it also has quarantine importance to several markets, thus tools for management are needed.

Finally saw a gulf fritillary that wasn’t in a book, dying or already dead.

I have no clue what the first one is but I found out the second one (from someone out here) is a gulf fritillary.

Y como las mariposas,

vuela hacía nuevas flores,

dirígete a nuevos sitios,

llenate de colores llamativos,

tiñe tu alma,

¡Qué aún eres!

Insect Protein Market Is Expected To Reach New Growth Revenues During 2021-2028

The global insect protein market size is expected to reach USD 1.48 billion by 2028 according to a new study by Polaris Market Research. The report “Insect Protein Market Share, Size, Trends, Industry Analysis Report, By Product (Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera, Orthoptera, Hemiptera, Diptera, Others), By Application (Food & Beverages, Animal Nutrition, Personal Care & Cosmetics, Others), By Regions; Segment Forecast, 2021 – 2028” gives a detailed insight into current market dynamics and provides analysis on future market growth.

The ability of wealthy investors to invest in emerging insect protein producers is driving the development. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), around 2 billion have insect protein in varied cuisines. Some of the main factors pushing the overall market growth are a shift in consumer preference for a substitute protein source, and widespread accessibility of edible insects.

Lesser ecological stress and the nutritional value of insects are also anticipated to upsurge the demand. Flexitarians, like those who eat organic or follow a paleo diet, stop eating meat and are usually more obsessed with food safety and sourcing. This shift in food attitudes is anticipated to create lucrative opportunities in the target market growth for insect protein.

Crickets, locusts, and grasshoppers are all associates of the Orthoptera insect order. Over the forecast timeframe, it is projected to retain a sizable market share. Crickets, in general, have better nutritional content, containing approximately 65.0% protein and providing a total protein and essential amino acid profile.

Cricket-derived protein ingredients are progressively being sold as substitutes to animal-based protein. Furthermore, as opposed to animal-based protein ingredients, these protein additives require less water and emit fewer greenhouse gases during production.

Cricket-derived protein additives are commonly used in energy bars. These additives are widely used as a powder to make energy bars taste better. For example, leading market participants such as Crik Nutrition (a Canadian company) source crickets through farms that have been planned and checked to develop crickets fit for human food and enforce normal rules and procedures for the very same.

Growing popularity of insects as eatables in both feed and food applications, Europe accounted for the largest share of the market, particularly in countries like Denmark and France. Numerous studies are being conducted to determine the long-term benefits, which is anticipated to boost regional market growth for insect protein over the forecast period.

Market participants such as Aspire Food Group Protifarm, Chapul Cricket Protein, EnviroFlight LLC, Ÿnsect, AgriProtein Holdings Ltd. Hexafly, Jimini’s, and Swarm Nutrition GmbH, Innovafeed, EntomoFarms, and Protix some of the key players operating in the market for insect protein.

👇🇪🇸&🇧🇷👇~ 🇬🇧 Moths in genus Idalus are beautiful. But to birds, their striking colors is a warning: "Do not eat me because I'm noxious.” This couple I found in the El Palmar National Park, in Argentina, rested on the underside of a leaf. 🇪🇸 Las polillas del género Idalus suelen ser preciosas. Pero los pájaros ven una advertencia en sus colores llamativos: “no me comas porque soy tóxica”. Esta pareja que encontré en el Parque Nacional El Palmar descansaba en el envés de una hoja. 🇧🇷 As mariposas do gênero Idalus são lindas. Mas para os pássaros, suas cores chamativas são uma advertência: “não me coma porque sou tóxica.” Este casal que encontrei no Parque Nacional El Palmar, sob o rio Uruguai na Argentina, estava descansando na parte inferior de uma folha.
