The hemlock woolly adelgid is an invasive pest within the eastern United States. Laricobius osakensis Montgomery and Shiyake, both members of the family Derodontidae, have been tested to see whether they would provide an effective biological controller over the woolly adelgid. These tests included: no choice and paired choice feeding, oviposition (Oviposition is the process of laying eggs by oviparous animals.) wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oviposition accessed 3 november 2011, and develpment tests with the invasive species, three other adelgids, and three nonadelgids. Examing the results of the tests suggests that Laricobius osakensis may be an effective biological control agent for the woolly adelgid. | |||
