i5K Comments for Maruca vitrata
The legume pod borer, Maruca vitrata (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) is a serious pest of grain legumes in the tropics and subtropics because of its extensive host range, destructiveness and distribution. The larvae feed on 39 host species , the majority of which belong to leguminaceae. Maruca vitrata has a very wide range of distribution throughout Africa and Asia, South America and southern states of Australia. There is a colony available from CSIRO in Canberra so material is readily available. It has been kept since 2008 and crosses and inbreeding are possible. Tom Walsh
