Lots of Cotesia cocoons this year in Southern Alberta. Watch out for wheat head armyworms @tylerwist, are you still looking looking for samples? #abbugchat

Found clusters of presumably insect eggs in PRG. No idea if good or bad or what they are. #abbugchat

#whatsInYourSweepnet This week I’ve found black blister beetles and wheat stem sawfly in my canola sweeps. Also diamondback, black flea beetles and cabbage seed pod weevil.

#Scout24 Thought of the day: would be neat for once to not be cutting Cereals in early August, so maybe Bracon cephi 2nd gen could survive. #abbugchat

Friday morning #soilsampling thought: Do cereal fields cut with stipper headers have higher amounts of Bracon cephi parasatoidism of wheat stem #sawfly? #abbugchat

Outside the lab entrance - a Velvet-striped grasshopper, walking and jumping on 5 C concrete, feeling the apricity. Unusual for Nov 19 in western Canada. It is a fifth instar (immature stage), not a fourth, because of warmth in Sept to Nov. @GlobalLocust #abbugchat #insects

It is +2C, about to snow, so I cut some Dahlia flowers to put on the cafeteria table at the lab. One has a lacewing larva busy searching for aphids to kill. Semper fi. All fight, right to the end. #abbugchat #biocontrol #insects

Syrphid larvae eat aphids on my flowers, competing with lacewing larvae and pasitoid wasps. Adult syrphids are pollinators, until killed by fungus (Entomophthora muscae). Correction: this is White-bowed Smoothwing (Scaeva affinis), ID by Trina Roberts. #insects #abbugchat
