The Spotted Wing Drosophila fly (SWD) is a quickly spreading across the United States of America. As SWD numbers get larger the number of fruit crops gets smaller. Aijun Zhang, a chemist working with the Agriculture Research Service, Invasive Insect Biocontrol, and the Behavior Laboratory in Beltsville Maryland, has found a solution to the SWD problem, Methyl benzoate. Methyl benzoate is emitted by snapdragons and petunias, to attract bees. SWD, unlike bees, is repelled from Methyl benzoate,…

declining" (). The reason for the beetle to be in that position is for a couple of reasons. First, many people mistake these beetles for insects that do not do well to the environment and with the pesticides added to the vegetation, it ends up killing the unharmful beetles. Moreover, another reason for the diminishing amounts of the beetles is because when poisoned insects are eaten by predators, the predator gets poisoned as well.

Marcel Dicke, ecological entomologist, discusses this in a short speech called “Why Not Eat Insects.” The speaker’s main point that he is trying to get across is basically…

Beetles, a group of insects are part of Coleopteran Order, they can be easily identified because of their dark colored body. Beetles mostly live in hot, cold, dry, or moist condition and because the Great Basin is the home of arid climate beetles can be easily found. Many of their food sources come from leaves, seeds, fruits, or dead wood. However, if beetles have good diets and potentially find other food sources they could benefit their population growth (Arbogast, et al. 2010). Beetles can…

For centuries, beekeepers have raised honey bees, harvesting the sweet honey they produce and relying on them to pollinate crops. Honey bees pollinate an estimated one-third of all the food crops we consume." The stance in my argument is that my honey bees were not harming John's flowers but merely fertilizing them. Research have shown that honey bees are the only insect that serves the needs of mankind and…
