1 Insect Identification Developed by: Scott Schell & Dr. Alex Latchininsky CES Entomology - Renewable Resources Univ. of Wyoming, 2007
2 Taxonomy: science of classifying organisms Names help humans organize and talk about things. However, you don t have to be a taxonomist to make correct, effective management identifications.
3 The Basic Organization Kingdom - Animalia Phylum - Arthropoda Class - Insecta Order - Orthoptera Family - Acrididae Genus - Hesperotettix Species - viridis Multiple common names: clown or snakeweed grasshopper
4 The Critical Categories Kingdom - Animalia Phylum - Arthropoda Class Insecta Order - Orthoptera Family - Acrididae Genus - Hesperotettix Species - viridis
5 The Importance of Insect Order and Family identification 1. ID books are organized around these classification levels. 2. Many times, Family level ID is sufficient for management. 3. For genus or species level ID you need specialized taxonomic keys (if available) or expert assistance.
6 How you can identify insects Know the basic body forms of adult and immature insects.
7 The Diagnostic Characteristics of: Class Insecta Adult Insect Characters: 3 pairs of legs 3 body regions (head, thorax, abdomen) Zero, 1, or 2 pairs of wings 1 pair of antennae
8 The Diagnostic Characteristics of Insecta:
9 The Diagnostic Characteristics of Insecta?
10 How you can identify insects Know the basic body parts used as diagnostic characters.
11 VERY important! determine feeding damage
12 Tarsi = Feet shaped for swimming shaped for climbing
13 How you can identify insects Know the basic body forms of adult and immature insects.
14 Insect Life Cycles Immature insect s forms and features can vary greatly from the adult stage. Immature dragonfly Adult dragonfly
15 Simple Metamorphosis Insects must molt or shed the exoskeleton to grow in size. Annual life cycle illustrated.
16 Complete Metamorphosis Monarch butterfly adult egg larva or caterpillar chrysalis or pupa
17 Insect Larvae forms Vermiform no legs, worm-like; grub or maggot. Bronze birch borer
18 Insect Larvae forms Vermiform with no head capsule, just hooks a.k.a. maggot House fly
19 Insect Larvae forms Vermiform with head capsule no legs fungus gnat by Mark Ascerno
20 Insect Larvae forms Campodeiform legs well developed, mobile. 7-spotted lady beetle
21 Insect Larvae forms Scarabaeiform have legs but limited locomotion. Tenlined June beetle
22 Insect Larvae forms Elateriform long, hardened, cylindrical body with short legs. Sugarbeet wireworm larva Click beetle Elateridae Family
23 Insect Larvae forms Eruciform six thoracic legs with abdominal prolegs for movement. Black Swallowtail larva and adult.
24 How you can identify insects Get good guide books for general and specialized uses. Some ID books are written specifically on plant pest and use the plant species and damage done to determine species.
25 Some good books: Peterson Field Guides: Insects Photographic Atlas of Entomology and Guide To Insect Identification How to Know the Immature Insects Insects and Diseases of Woody Plants of the Central Rockies* Pests of the West * Book title list hand-out.
26 Peterson s Field Guide Orders 26 Orders: Many Orders won t be encountered or noticed because of their size, habitat, or life cycle. Some new classifications and new insect Orders in current literature, but it is a good general reference.
27 Principle Insect Orders of Horticultural Importance
28 Order Orthoptera - Grasshoppers, Crickets, Katydids, *Mantids, *Walkingsticks, *Cockroaches *These are now separate Orders in new classifications; Mantodea, Phasmatodea, Blattaria, respectively.
29 Order Orthoptera - Suborder Caelifera short antennae pygmy grasshopper not a pest
30 Order Orthoptera - Suborder Ensifera - Crickets, Katydids Mormon cricket Jerusalem cricket Mole cricket
31 Order Orthoptera - *Mantids *Now Order Mantodea in new classifications..
32 Order Orthoptera - *Walkingsticks *Now Order Phasmatodea in new classifications.
33 Order Orthoptera - *Cockroaches *Now Order Blattaria in new classifications.
34 Order Dermaptera - Earwigs skin-wing
35 Order Thysanoptera - Thrips fringe-wing Fringe of hairs around wings is a diagnostic character. Not all species have wings and the nymphs don t either. Common thrips scrap off the top layer of leaves and feed. Can be human pests and cause skin irritation.
36 Order Hemiptera - True Bugs half-wing
37 Order Hemiptera - True Bugs two texture wings Beak starts from front of head and folds back when not in use.
38 Order Homoptera - Hoppers same-wing Piercing sucking beak from base of head Adult and nymph
39 Order Homoptera - Aphids Winged Wingless
40 Order Homoptera Cicadas aka periodic locusts
41 Order Homoptera Hoppers and Planthoppers
42 Order Homoptera - Whiteflies
43 Order Homoptera - Scale Insects Soft Scale example Hard Scale example Immobile as adults, females, secret hard or soft covering
44 Order Homoptera - Mealybugs secret waxy covering over their bodies
45 Order Coleoptera - Beetles sheath-wing Ladybird larva Ladybird adult
46 Coleoptera - Beetles Front wings are called elytra and meet in a straight line. Typical front wings spread slightly. A few have short front wings.
47 Order Lepidoptera - Butterflies and Moths scale-wing
48 Butterflies and Moths have wing scales that give color and pattern to the wings
49 Order Neuroptera - Lacewings nerve-wing Both adults (left) and larvae (below) are beneficial predators. Egg
50 Order Diptera - Flies two-wing This Robber fly from Asilidae mimics a bee for defense. Syrphid fly larva hunting for aphids.
51 Order Diptera - Flies Modified and reduced hind wings called Halteres are the diagnostic character Crane fly Halteres
52 Adult Hymenoptera - Bees membrane-wing Larvae in cells
53 Hymenoptera - Non-stinging Wasps many tiny, very specialized species are found in nature A dead aphid, killed by the wasp larvae developing inside it.
54 Hymenoptera - Stinging Wasps Voracious predators of other insects. Have warning coloration 2 pairs of wings, Wasp waist
55 Hymenoptera - Ants The thin connection between the thorax and abdomen has one or two humps in all ants.
56 Hymenoptera - Sawflies The worst plant pests in the Order. They lack the wasp waist of other members of the Order. Adult Plant feeding larvae
