Seasonal Occurrence and Host Plants of the Potential Pest, Black planthopper, Ricania speculum (Hemiptera: Fulgoroidea: Ricaniidae)
Abstract
We investigated the seasonal occurrence and host plants of the potential pest, the Black planthopper (Ricania speculum), in the Gyeonggi region. The Black planthopper has a univoltine lifecycle. Overwintering eggs begin to hatch in early June, and newly hatched adults emerge from mid to late July. These adults start laying eggs in late August. A total of 74 species from 38 families and 70 genera were identified as host plants for the Black planthopper, showing differences in host preferences at various developmental stages. The broad range of host plants is believed to have a positive effect on the pest's viability and spread, suggesting the need for proactive control strategies.
