Abstract
Abstract. Insects were collected from the surface of a suburban swimming pool (adjacent to an oak-grassland open space) in northern California over a six-year period (2014–2019). We found 338 morphospecies from 27 families of parasitic Hymenoptera. We note the uncommon taxa found and discuss the species richness of the catch and possible utility of this collection method, comparing our results to the diversity of taxa found, using conventional techniques, in two neighboring sites.
期刊介绍:
The Pan-Pacific Entomologist (ISSN 0031-0603) is published quarterly (January, April, July and October) by the Pacific Coast Entomological Society, in cooperation with the California Academy of Sciences. The journal serves as a refereed publication outlet and accepts manuscripts on all aspects of the biosystematics of insects and closely related arthropods, especially articles dealing with their taxonomy, biology, behavior, ecology, life history, biogeography and distribution. Membership in the Pacific Coast Entomological Society includes subscription to The Pan-Pacific Entomologist, and Society Proceedings typically appear in the October issue of each volume.
