  • An iridescent cuckoo wasp (Chrysididae sp.) in flight. Photographed in The Nature Conservancy's Zumwalt Prairie Preserve in NE Oregon. The name 'cuckoo wasp' is attributed to the fact that this insect, like the cuckoo bird, lays her eggs in the nest of an unsuspecting host. This insect was photographed after being spotted following small leafcutter bees to their nest with the plan of laying an egg in a larvae chamber of the host bee, concealing her activity by re-sealing the hole she made, and then leaving and allowing her offspring to kill and consume the host larvae, in some cases with occasional feedings by the host. Please note: The background of this image was digitally expanded to allow for better composition.

  • Cinnabar moth (Tyria jacobaeae) on Tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) at Cascade Head Preserve on the Oregon Coast. The cinnabar moth was first introduced into Oregon in 1960 to contraol non-native, invasive, tansy ragwort.  Subsequent research has shown that the cinnabar moth can reduce ragwort populations by 50-75% on sites favorable for their survivorship (Isaacson and Ehrensing 1977).  Adult cinnabar moths begin to emerge in late spring/early summer.  Mating commences quickly, and females lay their eggs on the underside of ragwort leaves.  Larva hatch in about two weeks and begin feeding on ragwort foliage.  By the third instar, larvae have migrated to the top of the plant to feed on the buds and flowers. With a good population of larvae, plants are stripped of flowers, buds and leaves.
