Abstract

We determined the feeding capacity of Calosoma sycophanta L. (Coleoptera: Carabidae) by feeding them the pine processionary moth (PPM), Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae), under laboratory conditions. C. sycophanta is one of the most important predators of PPM larvae and pupae. Adult C. sycophanta can consume as much as 7-8 times their weight in food per day. On average, each C. sycophanta adult injured 10 PPM larvae while consuming 7 of these prey per day. The adults lived for 3-4 years. When young C. sycophanta larvae feed on 1 PPM larva, they can reach 1.4-1.6 cm in length and 0.11-0.16 g in weight. One adult beetle eats 210-280 PPM larvae per year and 840-1120 PPM larvae during its lifetime.

Özet

Bu çalışma da, Calosoma sycophanta L. (Coleoptera: Carabidae)’nın çam keseböceği, Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera: Thaumetopoeidae) üzerinde beslenme etkinliği belirlenmiştir. C. sycophanta’nın hem erginleri hem de larvaları T. pityocampa’nın hem larvaları hem de pupaları ile beslenmektedirler. C. sycophanta erginleri günlük ortalama ağırlıklarının 7-8 katı besin tüketebilmektedirler. Bir Calosoma ergini günlük 10 adet çam keseböceği larvasını yaralamakta, bunlardan 7 adedini yiyebilmektedir. C. sycophanta erginleri, 3-4 yıl yaşayabilmektedirler. Yumurtadan yeni çıkmış Calosoma larvası bir adet T. pityocampa larvası yediğinde ağırlığı 0,11-0,16 g’a boyu ise 1,4-1,6 cm’e ulaşabilmektedir. Bir adet C. sycophanta ergini yılda 210- 280, ömrü boyunca ise 840-1120 adet T. pityocampa larvası yemektedir.
