Three stem borers, the sugarcane borer, Diatraea saccharalis (F.), rice stalk borer, Chilo plejadellus Zincken, and Mexican rice borer, Eoreuma loftini (Dyar), infest rice in the southern United States. They occur in Florida, with the Mexican rice borer being an invasive species recently introduced into the state. This publication briefly describes stem borers and sampling methods and reports results of the first extensive survey conducted to measure their occurrence in Florida rice.

This publication describes chalcoela moths, unusual predatory moths that occur across North America and the Caribbean. These moths are predators of paper wasps. They lay their eggs in wasp nests on wasp larvae and pupae. Immature moths spend all of their developmental stages inside paper wasp nests feeding on wasp larvae and pupae before pupating, themselves.
