Merr. variety lobata (Willd.) Maesen & Almeida, a close relative of soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., is an adventive and widely distributed weed in the southeastern United States. Conventional wisdom says that native arthropods do not feed heavily on kudzu, but recent evidence has indicated this is not the case. To better understand the interaction of kudzu and native insects, the biology of the soybean looper, Pseudoplusia includens (Walker), was compared on kudzu and soybean. Insects fed on kudzu had higher mortality, longer development times with supernumerary molts, and lower pupal weights than those fed on soybean. Rearing for up to three generations on either plant host had an effect on length of development time but did not affect other measured parameters. Foliage consumption did not differ between treatments, and nutritional quality of soybean and kudzu did not differ. The instar at which insects were transferred from artificial diet to either kudzu or soybean significantly influenced development time, number of instars, foliage consumption, and pupal weights, with instar 4 being the optimum stage for transfer. In an oviposition test, females readily oviposited on kudzu in a no choice test, but when both kudzu and soybean were provided, more eggs were deposited on soybean than on kudzu. Our studies show that although kudzu is an acceptable host, soybean is a preferred and better quality host.}, number={2}, journal={ANNALS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA}, author={Kidd, KA and Orr, DB}, year={2001}, month={Mar}, pages={219–225} }

Results indicate no preference for the artificial shelters and no orientation to the conspecifics within them. Sex ratios of beetles arriving at aggregation sites were consistent over time in two of the three sites examined. During winter, adult H. axyridis were non-randomly distributed among physically similar beehives. We conclude that there is little evidence for volatile aggregation pheromones and suggest that the chemical cues that mediate the final stages of aggregation behavior in H. axyridis may be based on contact chemoreception with conspecifics or the feces and residues that persist in aggregation sites from previous years.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF ENTOMOLOGICAL SCIENCE}, author={Nalepa, CA and Kidd, KA and Hopkins, DI}, year={2000}, month={Apr}, pages={150–157} }

Bimodal patterns of recruitment were usually observed to corn cob particulates saturated with oil but not to cotton wicks saturated with oil. Recruitment to both rates was usually higher at night but not always significantly ($P @? 0.05$) different from rates observed during the day. Significantly ($P @? 0.05$) higher rates of recruitment occurred to the particulate oil bait relative to the liquid oil bait at most times studied. The size of ants recruited to the two baits varied significantly ($P @? 0.05$); however, no consistent or explainable pattern in the size of ants recruited over each 24-hour period was observed for either bait. Ants of the media worker subcaste were generally recruited at significantly ($P @? 0.05$) greater rates to both baits relative to minor and major workers. Standard multiple regression analyses revealed that changes in air and soil temperatures had a significant ($P @? 0.05$) impact on recruitment; however, changes in air and soil moisture did not appear to influence rates of recruitment to the baits.}, number={2}, journal={FLORIDA ENTOMOLOGIST}, author={KIDD, KA and APPERSON, CS and NELSON, LA}, year={1985}, pages={253–261} }
