Acropyga ants and root mealybugs have evolved as mutualists. The mealybugs provide honeydew for the ants, and the ants protect the mealybugs from predators.

A bulbous and swollen fifth metatarsomere of powerfully jumping flea beetles may function as a vibration minimizing bow stabilizer, a rod with a ball attached to the end of it. Learn more https://t.co/M0rk48CBl2 #SysEntLab
I hear the organizers are top notch ๐ & clearly music lovers โWish They Could All Be California Gallsโ & โGalls just wanna have funโ #SysEntLab @EntCollNet @EntsocAmerica
Meet Persimilis! This tiny mite may look creepy but this โmiteyโ hero feasts on many mites and bugs that destroy strawberries and other crops. More here, including a cool video from @PBS https://t.co/TMFxxJAsjx #SysEntLab

Are Asian giant hornets a threat to our native species? Dr. Buffington talks wasps and biological control. https://t.co/Vc00OHjEhs #AGH #SysEntLab
It takes scientist to accurately recreate an organismโs morphology on a canvas, reflecting the reference specimen, but it takes an artist to make this motionless and quiescent depiction come to life. #SysEntLab Check this out ๐
A friendly wasp? Scientists are researching whether the Chalcidoid wasp can be used to biologically control an invasive species that consumes food crops. Learn more about this and other tiny creatures in the bug corner https://t.co/D5hlJwx95H #SysEntLab

ARS postdoc Miles Zhang and collaborators revealed the parasitoid wasp Ormyrus labotus, a generalist with 65 known hosts in the literature, to actually be a complex of 16-18 cryptic specialist species each with a much narrower host preference. https://t.co/khqbaLnExK #SysEntLab
ARS scientists and collaborators identified the origins of the non-native Roseau Cane Scale, a damaging insect pest of common reed threatening the Mississippi River Delta. Genetic and climatic data are providing critical guidance to focus future biocontrol efforts. #SysEntLab
The allium leafminer is a new invasive species in the United States that attacks onions, garlic and leeks. The strong smell may not be enough to repel the invasive pest. Parasitic wasps can help! Read more here https://t.co/PgykpKeYVB #SysEntLab #Hymenoptera #NISAW
The Ligurian leafhopper established in North America in 2009 is an invasive species that feeds by puncturing plant cells and causes stippling on mints. #SysEntLab #Membracoidea #NISAW
