Euborellia plebeja is a species of earwig in the family Anisolabididae. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] Like other members of the Anisolabididae family, this species has an elongated virga, a sclerotized tube that is part of the male genitalia.

Reproduction

An Indian study showed that the number of eggs laid varies from 21–40; the eggs hatch within 7–15 days. There are four nymphal instars. Although the sexes are not distinct during the nymphal instars stage of development, they can be differentiated in the adult stage. All parts of the body increased in size during nymphal growth except for the 3rd antennal segment which remains almost constant in length. [6]

Distribution

Euboriella plebeja has been collected from Sumatra, [7] Samoa, [8] Guam, [9] Madagascar, [10] Korea, [11] India and South America. [12]

Earwig Order of insects

Earwigs make up the insect order Dermaptera. With about 2,000 species in 12 families, they are one of the smaller insect orders. Earwigs have characteristic cerci, a pair of forceps-like pincers on their abdomen, and membranous wings folded underneath short, rarely used forewings, hence the scientific order name, "skin wings." Some groups are tiny parasites on mammals and lack the typical pincers. Earwigs are found on all continents except Antarctica.

Forficulidae

Forficulidae is a family of earwigs in the order Dermaptera. There are more than 70 genera and 490 described species in Forficulidae.

Paratachardina pseudolobata, the lobate lac scale, is a polyphagous and pestiferous lac scale insect, which damages trees and woody shrubs in Cuba, Florida, the Bahamas and the Australian territory of Christmas Island. It was mistakenly identified as Paratachardina lobata (Chamberlin), an insect native to India and Sri Lanka, but was in 2007 recognized and named as a distinct species based on material from Florida; its native distribution is as yet unknown. The new lac insect was described based on all stages of the female, during the revision of the genus Paratachardina, wherein all its known species were redescribed.

Spotted lanternfly Species of insect

The spotted lanternfly is a planthopper that is indigenous to parts of Southern China, Taiwan, and Vietnam, and has spread invasively to Japan, South Korea, and the United States. Although it has two pairs of wings, it jumps more than it flies. Its host plants include grapes, stone fruits, and Malus species, although its preferred host is Ailanthus altissima. In its native habitat it is kept in check by natural predators or pathogens. It was accidentally introduced in South Korea in 2006 and has since been considered a pest. In September 2014, it was first recorded in the United States, and as of 2020 it is an invasive species in the Delaware Valley, northern Delaware, eastern Maryland, eastern Pennsylvania, southwestern New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, northern Virginia, and Ohio.
