but entomologists use two words when describing Cimex lectularius, because it is a"true bug  (Hemiptera).

Entomologists always use two words for insects that are true to the common name they have oe so for example,

Now, a unique partnership of military scientists and entomologists appears to have achieved a major breakthrough: identifying a new suspect, or two.

But pop into any in U s. entomology department and one will find plenty of advocates for bug eating.

As a corn entomologist one of my suggestions to corn growers who were plagued by insects was to eat them.

Needless to say that didn't go over well said Tom Turpin an entomologist at Purdue University in Indiana.

But Otto an entomologist who usually studies marine mites is working to change that. Livescience corresponded with Otto to hear more about his experiences with these remarkable animals.

We now have a better understanding of why trees in urban areas are infested by so many of these pests study researcher Steve Frank an assistant professor of entomology at North carolina State university said in a statement.

Entomologists call this flagging because cut off from the rest of the tree the leaves on the broken branch will turn brown making them rather obvious amidst the otherwise green leaves.

American entomologists studying the effect in the 1940s noted the bed bugs could hardly be induced to move from the leaves

In 2013 a team of entomologists and agriculture scientists reviewed 77 previous studies about international Bt crops.

Wang's multiple gene knockdown method is a first in entomology and it overcomes the many shortfalls associated with typical single-gene targeting methods A common problem associated with single gene suppression is that it is not sufficient to show the interrelationship of a gene network.

Insects groom themselves incessantly so NC State entomologist Coby Schal and postdoctoral researchers Katalin Boroczky and Ayako Wada-Katsumata wanted to explore the functions of this behavior.

According to the entomologist hoverflies are present in practically all terrestrial ecosystems and they carry out very important biological functions such as pollination nutrient recycling

By giving a more detailed description of how the disease moves across the landscape the study opens the door to management efforts that might bring the disease under control says David Crowder a WSU entomologist and the paper's lead author.

The researchers--including entomologists and engineers at Penn State the Hungarian Academy of Sciences the Forest Research Institute in Matrafured Hungary and the USDA--created the decoys using a bioreplication process with nanoscale fidelity.

Next the entomology researchers pinned the bioreplicated and 3d printed decoys as well as dead female emerald ash borers onto leaves in forests in Hungary to see which of them best attracted wild males.
