Rice Flashcards
Gryllotalpa
orientalis
Mole cricket
They live in all rice environments but are most
prevalent in non-flooded upland rice fields with
damp soil.
Gryllotalpa
orientalis
Mole cricket damage is greater near the field borders
where they relocate after tillage operations

Cnaphalocrocis
medinalis)
Leaf folder
Leaffolders live in all environments but are
abundant during the rainy season. High humidity,
shady areas of the field, and excessive use of
nitrogenous
fertilizers
favor
their
rapid
multiplication.
Cnaphalocrocis

Parapoynx stagnalis
Caseworm
Caseworm is found in irrigated and wetland areas
where standing water in the field is a prerequisite
for larval survival.
Paraponyx stagnalis
Caseworm is found in irrigated and wetland areas
where standing water in the field is a prerequisite
for larval survival.
Paraponyx stagnalis
Pelopidas mathias
Rice skipper
The adult is a stout brown butterfly with small
white spots on the wings. Adults are active during
the day, making darting, erratic movements from
which the name skipper was coined
Pelodipas mathias
Occurs in all rice environments, but prevalent in
rainfed rice. Upland environments with their
diverse microhabitats can provide more favorable
sites than lowland rice plains

Schistocerca gregaria
Shorthorned grass hopper
They are found in all rice environments but are
prevalent in rainfed areas. They tend to localize in
dry areas and rice fields adjacent to grasslands
where they breed.

Spodoptera
frugiperda
Army worm
They live in all rice environments, but are serious
in upland rice as they need dry soil for pupation.
Lowland

Spodoptera frugiperda
Larva is the damaging stage. Young rice plants are
often cut at ground level while older plants are
only defoliated
