INTRODUCTION
Plants and insects have co-evolved since the Cretaceous period about 100 million —years ago. There
are approximately 43,000 known species of butterflies with the most speciose groups found in the
Neotropics (Hogue 1993). Lepidoptera are the subject of much experimental research in the quest for
knowledge of general ecological principles and are of medical importance as a source of drug resources
(Lamas and Perez 1987). The ubiquitous nature of butterflies has been greatly appreciated and
incorporated into the cultures of Latin American people (Beutelspacher 1976). Tropical conservation
programs in the United States designed to preserve the rich biological heritage of Central America as well
as educate the general public on butterfly ecology have increased directly due to the increase in butterfly
houses and museums in the United States and worldwide. Local residents in rural areas of Central America
are beginning to realize the value of conservation and organic farming techniques for sustainable land use
management and their role in maintaining biological diversity (L. Harkrader Coordinator of the DurhamSan Ramón Sister Community Partnership Steering Committee, pers. comm.).
Fragile ecosystems in the tropics have suffered habitat change and loss
due to residential, agricultural, and commercial development. Deforestation may have removed some insect species as well as plant species that
could have proven to be valuable for pharmaceuticals, plant hybrids or
pesticides (Leonard 1987). Ecologically sound agricultural practices
promote habitat conservation and sustainable agriculture. The small percentage of remaining forest should be preserved in order to maintain
biological processes, biodiversity, and subsequent human benefits as well.
The fact that the economies of Central America must increasingly rely on
natural resource commodities, while less than 40 percent of the land area of
the seven countries within Central America remains forested, stresses the
importance of developing suitable natural resource management and tropical conservation educational programs. Nicaragua has followed this trend
of rapid forest reduction and it is because of this pattern that local people
have and continue to support efforts to reverse this pattern.

within the Department of Matagalpa.
The development of butterfly farming for exportation requires a
management plan that will assure self-sustainability for years to come.
The plan must include the vegetation, forests, animals, and physical and
biological processes that maintain the functioning ecosystem. A butterfly
farming management program must include the entire community, which

Local residents of San Ramón and several nearby villages including
about 300 families are involved with this partnership. Coop-members
are eager to learn and try new ideas that may improve the regional
quality of life in addition to overcoming severe environmental and
health issues related to Hurricane Mitch, which hit the region in
November 1998. The members of the cooperative have had the
environmental foresight to utilize the land as a renewable resource for
sustenance and prosperity through organic farming and eco-tourism.
Increased community comradery was observed as the members worked
together to build a house for the flight-house caretaker. The members
have worked hard to make this project stand on its own as a model for
the future and arrive by the truckload weekly to contribute. Solarpowered lights in the kitchen and teaching facilities, and composting
toilets are evidence of their initiative to encourage non-obtrusive
living patterns as the nearby area of San Ramón develops.
MILLERSVILLE CONNECTION
in this case involves the people of San Ramón, Nicaragua. We
realize that commercializing pristine resources and assigning
monetary values to butterfly species raises concerns with some
people. However, in the case of San Ramón with its environmentally-minded members, we believe that habitat preservation and
ultimately species protection overrides any shortcomings of butterfly farming.
In January 1999, a delegation of students, teachers, and volunteers
from several U.S. states traveled to San Ramón, Nicaragua, in support
of the Durham-San Ramón Sister Community Partnership. San Ramón,
which is in the Department of Matagalpa, is located approximately 90
miles north of the capital city of Managua (See map on page 1).
DURHAM-SAN RAMÓN SISTER
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP
The partnership between Durham, North
Carolina, and San Ramón, Nicaragua, was established in 1993 in order to promote peace and
friendship between these two communities. The
partnership strives toward an equal distribution
of the world’s resources through people to
people exchanges and through social and economic development projects (L. Harkrader, pers.
comm.). This sister community partnership was
formed in support of the “campesino-acampesino” (farmer to farmer) movement initiated in the 1970s to promote organic farming
techniques and soil conservation with the goal
that many small families working collectively
will positively influence societal ideas, policies and ethical practices. Now, more than 270
Nicaraguan families are part of the Campesinoa-Campesino movement and volunteer on a 24acre model farm located in San Ramón (L.
Harkrader pers. comm.).

Approximately two years ago, John Wallace (a former Michigan
State University Entomology graduate student and now a faculty
member at Millersville University, Millersville, PA ) was invited to
lead a team of student entomologists to San Ramón, Nicaragua. The
goal of this visit was to initiate a butterfly farming pilot project with
the local agricultural cooperative. Laura Lazarus and Alexis Smoluk
who were then Millersville University students, were responsible for
locating larval host plants and adult butterfly nectar plants as well as
construction of the flight house. The entomology team worked
closely with the local coop-members to ensure that the project
would be self-sustainable upon their departure.

to initiate a butterfly farming project was two-fold. A butterfly expor-

Collecting
butterflies for
the new butterfly house
tation project would not only serve as a solution to
economic and social problems faced by the farmers, but also represent a diversified economic yet
ecologically sound business venture that would
reduce negative impacts on local insect diversity
by preserving habitat and providing educational
opportunities. The primary objectives for this
delegation included: (1) construction of a flight
house for adult butterflies and larval food plants;
(2) identification and collection of larval and adult
butterfly species for exportation, and; (3) collection of larval food and adult nectar plants for
nursery stock. In addition, the delegation constructed a small trail connecting a 100-foot waterfall to the butterfly flight house to enhance future
ecotourism opportunities of the area.
THE PROJECT TAKES FLIGHT
The construction of the flight house was initiated after an
appropriate site was selected based on available space and
proximity to larval and adult host plants. The house frame, a
rounded arc-like structure was erected after construction with
1-inch-diameter PVC piping and fastened with glue and wire.
After the house was stabilized with wooden support beams, the
shade cloth (made of 50% shade fabric with openings 1-cm in
diameter and dimensions of 10 X 8.5 m) was carefully attached
with hardware wire. Larval and adult host plants, e.g., banana and
passion vines were identified in the field and collected for
planting and cuttings in the flight house. Adult nectar plant

samples were also collected for nursery cuttings and planting.
Nightly training sessions were conducted with a local coop member to discuss insect and host plant identification.
Lepidopteran species were collected with sweep nets and with
traps baited with banana. A total of 12 species of butterflies from two
families were collected, including 10 species of Nymphalidae
(Heliconius charitonius, Heliconius erato, Caligo eurilochus, Greta
andromica, Milanaea ettra, Napeogenes tolosa, Morpho peleides,
Siproeta epaphus, Siproeta stelenes, and Titorea tarricina) and 2
Papilionidae (Papilio cresphontes, Parides iphidamas) (De la
Maza 1987, DeVries 1997). A few butterflies of each species were
identified to the species level and used as a reference collection from
which to base future exports. Larvae were collected when observed
on host plants, i.e., Papilio cresphontes and Morpho peleides.
The unique nature of the coop’s butterfly farming project may
have conditioned the project for a few minor setbacks. In this
cooperative effort all farm families work together and individuals commit to doing the job that each is best suited. The
acceptance of a role in the coop and project is taken as a promise
butterflies certainly represent a
new product for export, thereby
having a favorable effect on local
markets
WHAT DOES THE FUTURE HOLD?
Butterfly farming contributes jobs to the rural economy, thereby
helping to stem rural to urban migration, which is especially important in Nicaragua where the overall urban unemployment rate is
nearly 75%. For many developing countries, butterflies certainly
represent a new product for export, thereby having a favorable effect
on local markets which traditionally have relied heavily on agricultural commodities such as coffee, sugar, or beans. Butterflies can
generate foreign exchange income for hard-currency starved economies, such as Nicaragua. This type of economic development is not
only non-obtrusive but it also can contribute intellectual stimulation
and aesthetic value to the targeted and surrounding communities.
The technological simplicity of butterfly farming therefore minimizes the strain on a dollar-starved community to establish a
butterfly-breeding program. This fact furthermore eliminates the
dependence of the butterfly farmer on the availability of scarce
imported materials and the technological expertise to maintain
sophisticated equipment. The rich diversity of the Nicaraguan
low-montane broadleaf deciduous forests provide the necessary
adult and larval host plants as well as all exportable butterfly
species for this project. The only substantial start-up costs would
be the netting, PVC piping, tools, shovel, and wire needed to
construct the flight house.
The San Ramón-Durham Sister Community Partnership is
currently working on a way to link this coop to others in the area
to form an ecotourism site that is similar to those currently
established elsewhere in Central America where tourists (mostly
backpackers) travel through the Latin American countryside and
of commitment to teamwork for the duration of the project.
Failure to keep such a commitment jeopardizes the strength of
the coop and the effort’s success in general. During the last week
of the Millersville University party’s stay in Nicaragua, a potential
crisis was surmounted. The coop member trained for the position
of butterfly house caretaker backed out and left San Ramón
without telling the other members. Initial disappointment and
panic felt by those who invested their life savings and sweat in the
success of the coop gave way to remarkable resourcefulness of
the members. The caretaker’s replacement was soon found and
was sent to a butterfly farm in Costa Rica for training.
Export and import of Nicaraguan butterflies was made possible after a few stringent guidelines were followed. In Nicaragua, it was necessary to obtain a verification of each species and
a statement of health of each pupa from the Ministry of Agriculture. The quarantine inspector of the Ministry of Agriculture
must examine the pupa to make sure they are healthy. An export
license was obtained from CETREX (Centro de Tramites de
Exportaciones, translated as the Exportation Transaction Center), at a cost of $40 per inspection, after which a shipment was
immediately sent via airmail to the U.S. For import into the U.S.,
each institution (e.g., butterfly house, museum, etc.) must send a
formal request to the coop listing the species and quantity desired
of each butterfly. In addition each importer must be in charge of
establishing proper quarantine arrangements.

stay briefly in each community. The San Ramón hiking trails,

Michigan Odonata Database
Now on the Web
Already, progress has been attained regarding the flight house
import-export program. Nine Opsihanes tamarindi pupae (a morpho)
have successfully been transported to the Durham Science Museum
in Durham, North Carolina. The Durham museum is now awaiting
further shipments of other butterfly species that the San Ramón
partnership will provide. In addition to the recent success of the
butterfly project, local farmers also experienced significant benefits
of organic farming as evidenced by a 3-fold increase in the coffee
harvest of this past season (L. Harkrader, pers. comm.). With rewards
such as these, it is hopeful that support will grow for the farming
cooperative as well as for the widespread acceptance of organic
farming techniques promoting sustainable land use management.

One of my goals has been to make the Michigan Odonata
Survey database available over the Internet. Now that we are over
19,000 records, the data should be quite useful to natural heritage
agencies and other Odonatists, as well as MOS participants. Since
the MOS Database is kept in FileMaker Pro 4.1, it only made sense
to use Filemaker’s built-in web server features to make the data
accessible via the web. After an initial fling with Filemaker Pro
5.0, I pulled it off the web server, and installed FileMaker Pro 4.1
(FMP 4). It turns out that FileMaker Inc. must be fed an additional
$1000 for the version that allows us to serve up more than 10
guests in a 12-hour period. That’s a downgrade, not an upgrade, in
my (and many others) opinion, so I suggest anyone contemplating
sharing data via the web and Filemaker, use version 4.1, not 5.0.
After some initial tweaking, we now have the MOS database
available on the web at http://insects.ummz.lsa.umich.edu:591. For
a link to the database, you can go to: insects.ummz.lsa.umich.edu/
michodo/mos.html.
The web version differs from our master databse and data-entry
templates in several ways. First, I only included the fields for family,
genus, species, county, locality, date, collector, and MOS number.
My reason for that was that the web users need only that much
information. The MOS number provides a way to ask for more data
for a specific specimen if necessary. In another iteration of the web
database, I’ll include whether the specimen is an adult, larva or
exuviae. For now, the web database allows searching and viewing the
data in a table or form format. When I learn how to do some fancier
HTML coding, I’ll make the web database look and act a lot more like
the actual Filemaker database views that we use.
I have also put up the Larval Odonata database, which is based
upon the specimens in our fluid collection, and has about 3300
records as of Nov.1, 1999. That database originally started in 1996
as a means of curating our exuviae from the Kennedy and Williamson
collections, and evolved into a database of all our Odonata
specimens in alcohol. Ethan Bright has identified the majority of
the specimens in the database, and Ellie Shappirio has contributed
a lot of volunteer hours in databasing records in the past few
months. Most of the records databased thus far are from the Great
Lakes region. This database is also in Filemaker Pro, and each vial
is assigned a number by the database as a record is entered. I
estimate that our current catalog is about 1/3 of the total number
of vials of Odonata that we have, with much of the remaining
material coming from the SW and NW USA, some southeastern
states, Mexico, Central America, and some from Africa. A lot of

Hine’s
Emerald in Michigan
Wayne Steffens
1993 Holm Road,
Two Harbors, MN 55616
Email:[email protected]
I just completed my third year of a
U.S.Fish and Wildlife Service-funded Hine’s
emerald (Somatochlora hineana, Odanata:
Corduliidae ) survey in Michigan. This was
an exciting summer, especially after the dismal season in 1998. After last year I began to
wonder if any new populations would be
found, despite the relative abundance of potentially suitable habitat in Michigan.
Although found historically in Ohio,
Hine’s emerald hasn’t been seen there in
nearly 4 decades. Between the early 1960’s
and the late 1980’s, it wasn’t seen anywhere
and some thought it may have gone extinct.
From 1987 to 1996, this species was rediscovered at several sites in Illinois and in
Door County, Wisconsin. All of these sites
have shallow carbonate bedrock and groundwater discharge in common. Since this type
of habitat is abundant in Michigan, surveys
were begun in the Michigan Upper Peninsula (UP) in 1997.
During 1997-98, 7 new sites were found
in Mackinac County Michigan, north of St.
Ignace. All new sites were in extremely rich
fens and conifer swamps, with numerous
seeps and marl deposits. All 7 sites are
within 10 miles of each other, which gives
an indication of just how habitat-specific
this species is. Surveys were conducted all
over the eastern UP.
The most exciting find of the 1999 summer was in Alpena County, where I observed
several Hine’s emeralds in a privately owned
wetland several miles from Alpena. This is
a range extension of nearly 100 miles from
the UP sites, and its very good news for this
federally endangered species. A few days
later I was surveying some nice looking
habitat a few miles from Roger’s City in
Presque Isle County. I had finished surveying several of the best looking sites with no
luck. I decided to check out one more wetland before giving up, and saw two Hine’s
emeralds feeding along a trail and another
6
feeding in the nearby seepage fen! Later, I
found yet another site on Bois Blanc Island.
Michigan now has 10 known Hine’s emerald sites in 3 counties, almost as many
total sites as Wisconsin, and I suspect there
are several more sites waiting to be found.
New sites will probably be found in proximity to the 10 known sites, because that is
where the most suitable habitats are found.
Mackinac, Alpena, and to a lesser degree
Presque Isle Counties seem to have the
highest quality habitat, but parts of eastern
Chippewa County and some of the UP islands look very good too.
I also surveyed several sites in Ontario
this year. Although I did not find Hine’s
emerald there, some of the habitat looked
pretty good and the hydrology looked promising. There are many seep-fed wetlands on
both Manitoulin Island and the Bruce Peninsula, all underlaid by carbonate bedrock that
the species seems to require. I only had time
to survey a few of the highest quality potential habitats. I think there is a good chance
they will be found there eventually but they
will probably be quite localized as they seem
to be in other areas. I hope other people will
follow up and get out to look for Hine’s
emeralds in Ontario. If they have been hiding
in the Lower Peninsula all this time, they just
might be hiding in Canada too.

those specimens were collected by UMMZ
Fish Division expeditions, and undoubtedly
represent a lot of new locality records for
many species. This database also contains a
subset of the fields in the working database,
and is available at the same URL as the MOS
database.
The “Mediterranean
Wasp”
Invades Michigan
(Hymenoptera:
Vespidae)

Ann Arbor, MI 48109-1079
Email: [email protected]
If you live in southeastern lower Michigan, you may have seen a recent invader, and
not realized it. Polistes dominulus (Christ),
also known as the Mediterranean wasp, is a
paper wasp that was first reported from
Massachusetts in 1981 (Hathaway 1981),
and has since spread across the Northeastern United States. It was first sighted in
Oakland County, Michigan in 1995 (Judd &
Carpenter 1996), and an additional record
was reported from Wayne County in 1996
(O’Brien 1996). In 1997, I found another
individual in Monroe County (27 September 1997; Erie State Game Area). In 1998,
I started seeing numerous individuals in
Ann Arbor, Washtenaw County
This paper wasp is related to our native
paper wasp, Polistes fuscatus (F.), but is
quite different in coloration. Whereas our
native wasp is usually a walnut brown with red
and yellow markings, the “medwasp” is black
and bright yellow, looking more like a yellow jacket than a paper wasp (Figures 1 & 2).
Polistes dominulus has the same life cycle
as our native species. Fertilized females
Either one of these projects could not
have succeeded without financial support
from the UMMZ Insect Division’s
Ammermann fund, generosity of donors,
volunteer efforts of MOS participants, and
U.S. Forest Service Grant 23-98-21-RJVA.
If you do use the data from either database, please let me know. If the data is used
in any studies or publications, please acknowledge the proper source of the MOS
data as: Data provided by the Michigan
Odonata Survey at the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology.

nest was built on a vented
opening, it is likely that
the wasps could survive
the winter as long as temperatures did not get well
below freezing.

(queens) overwinter in protected places and
emerge in late spring to start new nests.
After a queen has reared several offspring
from her small nest, the workers take over
most of the nest building and larval feeding,
and the queen controls the workers and lays
eggs. In late summer, males are produced,
and they eventually mate with virgin queens
and the process starts all over again. Polistes
dominulus builds its combs under eaves
(Figure 3), inside the open ends of horizontal pipes, and other protected areas such as
ventilation access covers. Like other paper
Polistes, it does not build an outer protective envelope over the comb.
In Ann Arbor, this species has become
very noticeable in only two years, and nests
are quite common in urban and suburban
areas. In the Ann Arbor area, nests have been
abundant at the University of Michigan
Matthaei Botanical Gardens. In late July
1999, over 50 nests were sprayed and removed from inside greenhouses, many of
which were in semi-concealed places. Other
nests were also found outside. Nests varied
from 10-100 cells, with most nests having
less than 40 cells. Queens also overwinter
inside greenhouses and are often active
throughout the winter months (A. O’Brien,
pers. comm.). In late November 1999, I
found 8 females overwintering in an attic
where they were resting on the old comb of
that year’s nest as well as beneath it where
there was some space between the comb and

Unlike our native
Polistes, this species
builds its nests in protected areas that are less
permanent and subject
to artificial movement.
I know of two instances
in Ann Arbor where
small nests of less than
25 cells have been found
in the space between the
front door and body of a
less than 1-month old minivan (mine) and
another person’s small truck. Nests built in
such situations can explain the rapid spread
of this species into the mid-west, and also
now into Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. On
19 August 1999, I collected a female P.
dominulus from the parking area of the
west side of Indian Lake State Park,
Schoolcraft County, MI. This is the first
record for the Michigan Upper Penninsula
(UP), and is about 300 miles from the known
southern Michigan populations. With vehicles traveling from southern Michigan to
northern areas, nests of
this wasp can easily be
hidden in all types of
recreational vehicles
and trailers. Therefore,
I would expect this species to become established in other areas of
the state within a very
short time. It is unknown however, if
overwintering adults
will survive UP winters.
It is unknown how
much P. dominulus
will impact populations
of our native P.
fuscatus. I have seen
much higher density of
nests in this species than
P. fuscatus, but the two species do not
seem to compete for nesting spaces. However, both species take larval Lepidoptera,
other insects, and nectar for food for larvae
and adults. Obviously, further research
should reveal whether or not this wasp is yet
another problem species assaulting our ecosystem.

Outdoor Classroom (gardens and
trails). The Minibeast Zooseum is surrounded by 7 acres of fields, wetlands, and
woods. These areas serve as an extension of
our indoor classroom, and provide a place
for visitors to see and study minibeasts in
their natural environments. There are more
than a mile of trails through a variety of
interesting habitats. A wide variety of flora
and fauna has been recorded on Zooseum
grounds, including 34 trees, 40 wildflowers, 15 mammals, 6 reptiles, 4 amphibians,
and more than 150 insects (including 14
butterflies).
The Minibeast Zooseum and Education
Center of the Young Entomologists’ Society
(Y.E.S.) opened to the public this past spring
after three years of extensive planning and
fund-raising. The Minibeast Zooseum and
Education Center is located in a 6,000 square
foot building situated on 7 acres of land located at 6907 West Grand River Ave., in
Watertown Twp., just 1/2 mile east of I- 96
exit 90 and I-69 exit 81.
The “zooseum” is a unique concept of an
educational facility, one that has all the best
attributes of a zoo (live animals), a natural
history museum (educational exhibits), and a
nature center (outdoor classroom and informative outreach programs). The Minibeast
Zooseum and Education Center features a
minibeast zoo, interactive displays and exhibits, resource center and library, instructional facilities, outdoor gardens and trails, a
gift shop, and Y.E.S. administrative offices.
In the six months that the Zooseum has been
open more than 4,500 people have visited the
facility.
Minibeast Zoo Exhibits. Over 15 species of minibeasts are on display (with more
in the rearing room), including insects, spiders and tarantulas, scorpions, millipedes,
centipedes, crustaceans, worms, and slugs,
all in beautifully landscaped habitat tanks.
Interactive Exhibits and Displays.
Visitors can try their hand at our exclusive
Insect Rollerbug Course and experience the
many other hands-on, interactives; there are
dozens of other displays too, including exotic and local insect specimens, arthropod
artifacts, posters and pictures, arthropod cultural memorabilia, microscopic minibeasts,
and butterfly gardening information.
Indoor Instruction. A 900 square foot
multipurpose room is available for conducting educational outreach programs, includ-
8
Resource Center and Library. The
Zooseum also houses one of the largest
collections of books, posters, videos, software, databases, online resources, educational handouts, photographs, artifacts, collecting equipment, and insect toys anywhere
in the world. These resources are available
to Zooseum members and researchers.
Minibeast Merchandise Market
(Zooseum gift shop). No museum would
be complete without a gift shop. The
Minibeast Merchandise Market offers an
incredible variety of educational materials,
novelties and gifts on invertebrate animals
and is a great place to shop.
Y.E.S. Administrative Office. The international headquarters of the Young Entomologists Society, the world’s premiere entomology youth organization, are located at
the Zooseum. The group has more than 750
members in over 3 dozen different countries.
Traveling Outreach Programs. The
award-winning staff of the Y.E.S. visits more
than 10,000 young people annually in the
Great Lakes region and beyond.
You Can Be a Volunteer at the
Minibeast Zooseum and Education
Center. Minibeast Zooseum Volunteers are
Important! Volunteers play a vital role in
the operation and education mission of the
Zooseum. As part of our volunteer staff,
you will join us in helping others discover,
explore and enjoy the wonder and beauty of
minibeasts. Visitors’ interests in our facil-
ity and minibeasts are greatly enhanced by
volunteer’s enthusiasm, knowledge, handling, and genuine friendliness towards our
animals and visitors. In addition to “frontline” contact with visitors, volunteers provide invaluable behind-the-scenes support
and assistance to staff members. Volunteers are the Zooseum’s most valuable natural resource.
No matter what your personal interest
or talents, a variety of volunteer jobs await
you at the Minibeast Zooseum, including
opportunities in all facets of the Zooseum’s
operations. Since each volunteer will receive an orientation to the Zooseum, prior
knowledge is not necessary for most positions. In a few cases you may be asked to
provide references or demonstrate skills
before beginning volunteer service in certain jobs. Time commitments can be tailored to meet your schedule and vary from
a few hours a month to several hours per
week. All positions include days and/or
weekends, and a few positions include evenings for special events and programs.
Benefits of Volunteering include:
Meet other interesting people (staff, other
volunteers, and visitors); Challenging new
experiences; Exercise both old and newly
acquired skills; Ongoing training and workshop; Use the Zooseum for future references; Attend annual holiday party.
Requirements for volunteering are
simple: volunteers are asked to be members of the Zooseum (and to agree with its
mission and be willing to uphold them), to
meet certain minimum ages (there are jobs
for both teens and adults), to be willing to
learn and continue learning (attend orientation session and periodic volunteer meetings), and to make a sincere effort to keep
commitments. If you have an interest in
macroinvertebrate animals (minibeasts),
enjoy working with people of all ages, and
have a cheerful disposition, then we have a
place for you at the Minibeast Zooseum and
Education Center.
If you are interested in volunteering
your time and talents, or would like more
information, contact the Young Entomologists’ Society by phone (517-886-0630) or
e-mail ([email protected]), or stop in and
speak to a Zooseum staffer.

1999 Michigan Sur veys for the
Tamarack Tree Cricket
David Cuthrell
Michigan Natural Features Inventory, Mason Bldg., P.O. Box 30444, Lansing,
MI 48909
Email: [email protected]
In August and early September 1999, biologists at the Michigan Natural Features
Inventory (MNFI) discovered several new locations, that contained the tamarack tree
cricket, Oecanthus laricis T.J. Walker (Orthoptera: Gryllidae). This tree cricket,
currently listed as special concern in Michigan, was known worldwide from less than
10 sites. The populations were known from six sites in southern Michigan and one site
in northeastern Ohio. Cantrall (1943) stated that O. laricis in Michigan appears to be
found only on tamarack (Larix laricina) and seems to prefer the upper portions of
vigorous, young trees 20 to 40 feet in height. He did not find them in dense stands but
in the more open areas on younger trees. E. S. Thomas collected the only two known
specimens of O. laricis in Ohio and he took them while sweeping hemlock (Walker
1963). Adults can be heard calling from the tops of tamarack trees in August and
September. The song is a trill with approximately 39 pulses per second at 27°C, and
is almost indistinguishable from the more common four-spotted tree cricket, Oecanthus
quadripunctatus Beutenmüller (Vickery and Kevan 1985). It is likely that O. laricis
lays its eggs in the bark of tamarack trees and is wholly dependent on the tree for this
part of its life cycle. Essentially nothing else is known about the biology or
life history of this particular tree cricket.
In 1999, MNFI biologists visited 24 sites in several southern Michigan
counties. We used a typical sweep net but extended the handle by 10 feet by
fastening a piece of 3/4 inch conduit onto the handle. A total of 18 new sites
were discovered in southern Michigan and we recorded new county records
from Barry, Clinton, Ingham, and Lenawee counties. The habitat at newly
discovered sites ranged from high quality prairie fens with sparse tamarack,
to a thick swamp with towering tamaracks. Although we had great success
during 1999 and added several localities, O. laricis still has the most
confined range of any of the Oecanthus species. In addition, the potential
habitat at many of the sites is contained in small, localized pockets within
a highly fragmented landscape. Habitat destruction or modification currently threatens some O. laricis sites in Michigan. In the future, we plan to
expand our surveys for the tamarack tree cricket to better assess its range
and conservation status.
