List of some Lepidoptera families associated with weeds in banana farms (Musa AAA), Caribbean Costa Rica
Main Article Content
Abstract
larvae associated with weedy plants generate valuable and
new information for this group within agroecosystems towards
an integrated weed management program and a better
understanding of arthropod fauna associated to these plants.
Throughout 2008-2009, several Lepidoptera larvae were found
in weed samples collected in the Caribbean of Costa Rica within
banana farms and neighboring areas. These samples were
identified with avalaible literature and a larvae collection of
one of the authors. The records of 25 specimens from six
Lepidopteran families on 13 weed families are presented in this
paper, some of them are interesting in terms of biological control.
