 of overwintering adults, and some effects of photoperibd on fecundity. 

 J. Ga. Entomol. Soc. 14: 3A6-350. ' ' ■" 



Boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis grandls Boheman, taken from woods trash were 

 held singly, paired, and one female with two males on cotton squares. Females 

 held singly laid fertile eggs, but with males the number and viability of eggs, 

 % females laying ej^gs, and oviposition were significantly increased. Time or 

 longevity of weevils, In addition, females held in a 10-h day-length were sig- 

 nificantly less reproductive than females held in a 14-h day-length, and females 

 were found to continue oviposition during both the light and dark periods.

 male-baited traps on captures of boll weevils. Environ. Entomol. 1: 

 530-532. 



Three colors of plastic boll weevil pheromone traps were compared for capture of 

 boll weevils. In addition, the location of the traps around cotton fields and 

 proximity to overwintering sites as related to trap capture was evaluated. In 

 these tests, location of the traps was more important in weevil capture than 

 the color of the traps.

 cotton squares in the Florence, S.C. area. J. Econ. Entomol. 72:162-164. 



From June to Oct. in 1974, 1975, and 1976, fiell collections were made of fallen 

 and flared cotton squares punctured by boll weevils, Anthonomus grandis grandis 

 Boheman. These squares were held in an insectary and observed for emerging boll 

 weevils and larval parasites. In addition, adult boll weevils that survived the 

 winter were observed for parasites in 1975. Four species of hymenopteran para- 

 sites were recovered; also 2 dipteran species were found when adult boll weevils 

 were dissected.
