15 Resapamea stipata Four-lined borer
16 Prairie Cordgrass Seed Loss Aethes spartinana larvae bore through 4+ spikelets, feed on multiple caryopses Stenodiplosis n.sp. larvae feed on individual caryopses
17 Resapamea stipata Impact
18 Combined Resapamea, Aethes & Ischnodemus damage
19 Stenodiplosis n.sp. Tentative Interpretation 1. Autumnal larvae overwinter. 2. Spring emerging oviposits in developing spikelets. 3. Summer larva feeds on embryonic caryopsis. 4. Summer adults emerge during anthesis period 5.??? Crop effects: reduced seed production. Summer larval feeding concurrent with larvae of Aethes spartinana. Together, probably account for reports of poor seed set in cordgrass.
