Do pierced deer moths bite, are deer moths pests?

The winged deer moth is a deer moth family, small to medium large moths, similar in appearance like a spotted moth or wasp, with a well-developed beak, a small head, often lacking scales on the wing surface, a spear-shaped forewing, quite narrow, and the hindwings are significantly smaller than the forewings. Fly and suck among the flowers, and open their wings when resting, because the deer moth has a blunt body and small hind wings, and the flight power is weak, people can often catch them with their hands, they do not bite. Therefore, the winged deer moth does not bite.

A: No bite. Swarms of small wasps-like bugs have caused panic among many people.

In fact, don't be afraid, this insect is called a "fruit fly", which is an insect that looks like a wasp but does not sting. Fruit flies taxonomy belong to the class Insecta, Diptera, and Drosophilidae. There are about 500 genera and more than 4,500 species of fruit flies in the world.

The common species are citrus fruit fly, orange fruit fly, South Asian fruit fly, melon fruit fly, pumpkin fruit fly, striped fruit fly, etc. The body size of the fly is small to medium-sized, with a spherical head, a well-developed mid-thorax, yellow longitudinal stripes that vary from species to species, and characteristic black spots on the wings.

It does not bite because the deer moth has a blunt body and small hind wings, and its flight power is weak, so people can often catch them with their hands.

The winged deer moth doesn't bite, it's just a very common moth, small to medium, large moth, shaped like a spotted moth or a wasp.

Deer moths are not poisonous. Deer moths, small to medium large moths of the family Deer Moths, resemble spotted moths or wasps. This insect occurs in Nanping, Fujian Province in 1 year and has 3 generations, overwintering as larvae.

Deer moths are not poisonous.

The deer moth resembles a wasp, but it is not venomous. The larvae like to feed on plant leaves, which is a pest, and the insect infestation period is from late March to late April, late June to mid-July, and early and mid-September every year.

Introduction to deer moths

Deer moths, amatidae, are small to medium moths that resemble spotted moths or wasps. The beak is well developed but sometimes vestigial, the lower lip is short and flattened, long and curved downward or turned upward, the head is small, and the antennae are filamentous or biscrubic. The tibial distance of the thoracoped foot is short, and the abdomen is often spotted or banded.

The wings are often devoid of scales, forming transparent windows.

Forewings spear-shaped, rather narrow, the apex of the wing slightly rounded, the middle chamber more than half the length of the wing; The hindwings are significantly smaller than the forewings. The larvae are bright in color, with 4 pairs of gastropods and 1 pair of gluteal feet, and the body surface often has hair nodules, on which there are clusters of growing hairs, and the ventral toes are hooked semi-annular; Pupae are smooth, hard, and calloused. Fly and suck among the flowers, and open their wings when resting, because the deer moth is blunt, and the hind wings are small and the flight power is weak, people can often catch them by hand.

Natural enemies are known to include rice bracts and black spots, and according to the 1988 survey, the parasitism rate. In addition, there is also the umbrella skirt chasing the parasitic fly, and the larvae are commonly parasitized by Beauveria bassiana in the forest between May and June. The insect mostly occurs in young forests on the southeast slope, especially in the middle and lower slopes and near both sides of the forest road.

The deer moth is an insect that is mainly distributed in the southern part of the country. Deer moths are flights, and unlike other moths, they reproduce at night. But based on the study of deer moths, it can be concluded that deer moths are a pest.

When deer moths hatch larvae in the spring, they will carry out large-scale predation on fruit trees, cash crops and other plants. Eating a large number of plants or photographing leaves will bring serious growth problems to plants, resulting in the withering and death of plants, and if not reasonably controlled, it will directly threaten the stability of agricultural production. Therefore, deer moth is defined as an agricultural pest.

In order to control the harm of deer moths, it is necessary to detect the harm of deer moths in time and take measures to effectively control them. For fruit trees or crops infested by deer moths, they can be controlled by strengthening fertilizers and spraying pesticides. With the same basal limb, researchers can develop more scientific control methods on the basis of exploring the growth and development laws and ecological characteristics of deer moths.

In addition, it is necessary to further understand the importance of pest control and pay attention to the research and control of pest control. Crops are the main food for human beings**, and protecting crops is equivalent to protecting human health and life. Therefore, for the control of pests such as deer moths, we need to make more active efforts and more sophisticated control measures to ensure that China's agricultural production can continue to develop steadily.
