The flight of Culicoides impunctatus Goetghebuer (Diptera, ceratopogonidae) over moorland and its bearing on midge control.

  • D.S. Kettle (a1)
Extract

In the summer of 1958, experiments were conducted in the vicinity of Brunston Muir, Midlothian, 11 miles SE. of Edinburgh, to measure the flight range of Culicoides impunctatus Goetgh. from its breeding site in the direction of the prevailing south-westerly wind. Thirty-six sticky traps were exposed for six weeks from 27th May to 7th July and captured 23,211 specimens of Culicoides, of which 20,105 were of C. impunctatus (7,207 males and 12,898 females).

Eleven of the traps were arranged in a line over 1,200 yd. The catch of females did not alter for 400 yd., then decreased to a new level which remained constant from 600 to 1,200 yd. This decrease was associated more with the absence of livestock after 550 yd. than with any density/distance regression. The male distribution was similar to that of the females.

Ten more traps stretched over 750 yd. and again no regression was discernible. The female distribution was affected more by the availability of hosts than distance from the breeding site. The male distribution here was different. They appeared to pass less readily through a gap in a narrow belt of woodland than did the females.
