| Abstract/Contents: | Presents a study conducted to "determine the seasonal life history of Larra bicolor in the northern Gulf Coast." Describes the experiment and the methods used. Reports that "due to heavy summer rains, wasps were unable to be collected in mass during August or September [2009]." |

| USGA Summary Points: | Larra bicolor have a 4-5 month activity in the northern Gulf region to parasitize mole crickets. Wasps are active mostly during daylight hours. Although the impact of insecticides on L. bicolor have not been evaluated, turf managers wanting to conserve these biological controls should consider making insecticide applications later in the day as numbers of foraging wasps wane. In two trial, pentas, particularly white pentas, recruit equivalent numbers of L. bicolor as flowering Spermacoce verticillata. Wasps don't appear to be visually attracted to flowers, and experiments using volatile attractants are being conducted. |
