2019 journal article
Varroa destructor feeds primarily on honey bee fat body tissue and not hemolymph
PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL ACADEMY OF SCIENCES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 116(5), 1792–1801.
author keywords: Varroa; apiculture; insect physiology; honey bee; fat body
MeSH headings : Animals; Bees / parasitology; Diet; Fat Body / parasitology; Hemolymph / parasitology; Host-Parasite Interactions / physiology; Reproduction / physiology; Varroidae / pathogenicity
TL;DR:
The work shows that this parasite is not consuming hemolymph, as has been the accepted view, but damages host bees by consuming fat body, a tissue roughly analogous to the mammalian liver, which strongly suggest that Varroa are exploiting the fat body as their primary source of sustenance.

Standards for Effective Insect Rearing Science and Technology Papers
Advances in Entomology, 06(04), 256–284.
TL;DR:
It is suggested that the treatment of insect rearing systems should be modelled after the extensive and successful practices of the food science and food technology community, and welcoming papers based on discoveries of various aspects of feeding biology and treating scientificallyRearing systems’ components and properties are suggested.

Decomposition of Concealed and Exposed Porcine Remains in the North Carolina Piedmont
JOURNAL OF MEDICAL ENTOMOLOGY, 53(1), 67–75.
author keywords: carrion; seasonal; community assembly; necrobiome; forensic entomology
MeSH headings : Animals; Entomology; Forensic Sciences; Insecta; North Carolina; Postmortem Changes; Seasons; Swine / microbiology; Swine / parasitology
TL;DR:
Differences among the insect communities across seasons and concealment treatments, and the effects of concealment on colonization indicate that such information is important and should to be considered when analyzing entomological evidence for criminal investigations.

2014 journal article
Stylet Bundle Morphology and Trophically Related Enzymes of the Hemlock Woolly Adelgid (Hemiptera: Adelgidae)
ANNALS OF THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA, 107(3), 680–690.
author keywords: Adelges tsugae; digestive enzyme; electron microscopy; feeding biology; hemlock
TL;DR:
Morphological characters indicate that hemlock woolly adelgids may use labial sensilla and neural canals within the mandibular stylets to guide their stylets through close-range host acceptance processes, and results support the theory that extra-oral digestion is likely used by hemlocks.
