Abstract

ABSTRACT: Since its introduction to North America from Asia in 2014, the spotted lanternfly has emerged as a pest in rural and suburban settings. In downtown Philadelphia we found adults of the spotted lanternfly concentrated on pavement at the bases of skyscrapers and high-rises. Most of these insects were sluggish or dead. Adults of the spotted lanternfly concentrated also on the 27th story of a façade of a high-rise, and on the roof of another high-rise. Skyscrapers and high-rises in this city behaved as ecological traps. The possibility that the spotted lanternfly will evolve resistance to such traps is doubtful.

摩天大楼是斑点灯笼蝇的生态陷阱(半翅目:斑点灯笼蝇科):初步观察

摘要:自2014年从亚洲传入北美以来，斑灯蝇已成为农村和郊区的一大害虫。在费城市中心，我们发现斑点灯笼蝇的成虫集中在摩天大楼和高层建筑底部的人行道上。这些昆虫大多行动迟缓或已经死亡。斑点灯笼蝇的成虫也集中在一栋高层建筑正面的第27层和另一栋高层建筑的屋顶上。这个城市的摩天大楼和高层建筑就像生态陷阱。斑点灯蝇进化出对这种陷阱的抵抗力的可能性值得怀疑。

期刊介绍： Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
