Abstract
The life histories of the walnut husk maggot, Rhagoletis suavis , and the walnut husk fly, R. completa , were determined between 1973–75 for Missouri. Emphasis was placed on the use of various trapping techniques for adult flies. The Zoecon “Pherocon AM Insect Traps” were most successful. The peak emergence period for both species is mid- to late Sept. The larvae overwinter in the 2.54–5.08 cm layer of soil. Some overwinter for more than 1 year.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
