Cutworms
There are three common varieties of cutworms: black cutworm, granulate cutworm, and variegated cutworm. Cutworms are the larvae of various moth species in the family Noctuidae. They overwinter in the soil as larvae and emerge in the spring, developing into moths within 20-40 days. Cutworms feed at night and cut off seedling plants at the soil surface or eat foliage and fruit later in the season. Management strategies include tilling soil before planting to destroy plant residue and using barriers like cardboard or cloth around seedlings to prevent cutting.
Bharath
Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda) is a migratory pest native to tropical regions of the Americas that feeds on over 80 host plants, especially grasses. It was first reported in Africa in 2016, causing up to 60% yield losses in maize. The adult moths are strong fliers that can travel long distances. The larvae go through 6 instars over 14-28 days, feeding on leaves and corn ears. Management strategies include applications of azadirachtin, thiodicarb bait, and Emamectin benzoate sprays. Nomuraea rileyi, a fungus that infects the larvae, may also help control populations.
Field study of birds
Birds are endothermic vertebrates characterized by feathers, beaked jaws, laying hard-shelled eggs, and a high metabolic rate. There are around 8,700-9,600 living bird species worldwide that vary greatly in size. Birds are classified in the kingdom Animalia, phylum Chordata, and class Aves. Common types of birds include doves, flamingos, and eagles, which are found in various habitats and have distinguishing physical traits. Birds undertake seasonal migrations for breeding and survival, moving between northern and southern latitudes. Migratory birds such as swans, geese, and ducks help control pests and dispose of dead animals, benefiting human populations.
Cutworms and Armyworms Integrated Pest Management
This document discusses various species of cutworms and armyworms that can be pests in vegetable gardens and landscaping.

Biological controls using Bacillus thuringiensis are recommended as a selective option, while carbaryl baits are noted to be toxic to beneficial insects.
Phase variation in locust
Locusts are grasshoppers that can exist in two distinct phases - solitary and gregarious. In the solitary phase, locusts are solitary and avoid other locusts. In the gregarious phase, locusts are attracted to each other and form destructive swarms. The phase is determined by environmental factors like temperature, food availability, and population density that influence the production of hormones. High population densities and contact between locusts causes a switch to the gregarious phase.

English project birds
The document summarizes information about several bird species:
The Golden Pheasant is a game bird native to western China with a distinctive golden crest, rump and bright red body. The Greater Bird-of-Paradise received its name because early specimens reached Europe without feet, leading to the belief they never touched the ground. The Rainbow Lorikeet is a colorful parrot found in Australia and nearby regions that lives in rainforests, coastal bush and woodlands. The Orange-bellied Parrot is a small Australian parrot, one of two that migrate, and is critically endangered with only 36 known to be alive after the 2011/2012 breeding season.
Tree crickets
Tree crickets, also known as Oecanthus pellucens, are small yellowish-brown insects found worldwide, especially in central and western Asia, northern Africa, and Europe. They live in sunny meadows and grasslands with high vegetation. Males produce sound by rubbing their wings together at night to attract mates. Females lay eggs in plant stems which hatch into nymphs. Tree crickets are omnivorous but do not cause economic damage so no control methods are needed.
Entomology 243(crucifers)
This document summarizes information about the diamond back moth (Plutella xylostella), a major pest of cruciferous crops. It describes the moth's identification, life cycle, damage caused, and management. The moth's eggs are laid on leaves and hatch after 6-7 days.

Farmers use various insecticides as well as cultural practices like crop rotation and early planting to control infestations.
Giant snail
The African Giant Snail is a large, invasive land snail species native to Eastern Africa. It has been accidentally and purposefully spread around the world. It lives in warm, tropical areas and feeds on over 500 types of plants, causing significant damage to agriculture. It can lay up to 1,000 eggs in its lifetime. It is a major pest that is extremely difficult to control due to its rapid population growth. It also poses a health risk to humans by carrying a parasitic nematode that can cause meningitis. A variety of control methods are used including hand collection, quarantine of imports, physical barriers, molluscicides, and biological controls like ducks and predatory snails.
Lesser grain borer
The Lesser Grain Borer (Rhyzopertha dominica) is a small brown to black beetle that damages wheat, corn, rice, and millet. Both the adult beetles and cream-colored C-shaped larvae feed inside and on grain kernels, leaving only dust and thin shells. They can completely develop within kernels, producing large amounts of frass. Proper storage and an economic threshold of 1 insect per quart of grain guides control efforts focused on the aerosol insecticide DFORCE applied to where adults and larvae reside.

The Angoumois Grain Moth is a worldwide pest that attacks stored cereal grains like wheat, oats, barley, maize and sorghum. The larvae feed on and damage the grain kernels, while the adults feed on nectar and water. The larvae are white with a yellow-brown head, grow up to 5mm long, and cause the most damage by boring into and consuming 30-50% of grain contents. The moths have narrow pointed wings with long hairs and a 10-12mm wing span. There are multiple generations per year, with eggs hatching in 4-8 days and the full lifecycle taking 51 days from egg to adult.
Rice weevil
The rice weevil is a small beetle that infests grain products like rice and wheat. The adult is 1/8 inch long with reddish-brown or black coloring and four spots on its wings. It lays eggs in grains, and the legless white larvae feed within the grains. The full lifecycle from egg to adult can take as little as 26 days in warm conditions. Rice weevils damage grain by eating into it and reducing its quality. Control methods include inspecting for infestation, discarding heavily infected material, freezing food below 0°F for 3 days or heating to 140°F for 15 minutes to kill all life stages.

Respiration system in insects
Insects breathe through a respiratory system consisting of spiracles, trachea, tracheoles, and air sacs. Air enters through openings called spiracles and travels through a network of tubes called trachea. The trachea branch into finer tracheoles where gas exchange occurs. Air sacs store oxygen and provide buoyancy. The respiratory system delivers oxygen to cells and removes carbon dioxide as a waste product, but is separate from the circulatory system.
Poultry Farming and problems
Poultry farming is an important sector for Pakistan's agriculture and economy. It provides a source of protein and nutrition for the population. While poultry farming has grown significantly since being organized in 1965, there are still problems that need to be addressed, including ensuring proper nutrition, housing, vaccination, and breeding to increase productivity. Addressing these challenges can help strengthen Pakistan's poultry industry.

Cut worm
The document discusses the turnip moth, also known as the cutworm. It is a pest in the order Lepidoptera and family Noctuidae that feeds on common vegetable crops like tomatoes, cabbage, corn, and potatoes. The moth has a 35-day lifecycle from egg to adult and is found across Australia. As caterpillars, they can damage and cut off seedlings and stems at night, posing risks to newly planted gardens. Natural methods like using ground beetles as predators and the biopesticide Eco-Bran can help control cutworm populations.
Cabbage maggot
The cabbage maggot, or Delia radicum, is a fly pest that damages cabbage and other crops like radishes and carrots. It is gray-brown, around 6.5 mm long, and found from spring through summer. The larvae, or maggots, bore into and eat the roots of host plants, which can cause wilting or damage the tap root. Farmers can control cabbage maggots by using ground covers, tilling soil to reduce emergence, or releasing staphylinid beetles as natural predators.
