USGA Summary Points:Monthly monitoring of the flight period of L. bicolor is ongoing and will continue through the fall. The 2006 flight began in late May and wasps were still active in late October. The ornamental Pentas lanceolata was found to be a host for L. bicolor. This species and other ornamentals will be evaluated in laboratory longevity studies to select plant species for field plot experiments on local golf courses. Several unsuccessful attempts were made to trap L. bicolor. Monitoring activity on flowers or while foraging in the turf is still the most reliable means to gauge the flight period.
