Seu corpo é preto. Mede cerca de 50 mm <br />de envergadura. <br />The cabbage caterpillar Ascia monuste orseis (Lepidoptera, Pieridae) (Latreille, 1819) <br />is also known as curuquerê-da-couve and occurs in the neotropical region (CARDOSO et al. <br />al., 2010). <br /><br />DESCRIPTION AND BIOLOGY <br />The adult is a butterfly whose wings are yellowish-white with dark brown edges. Your body is black. Measures about 50mm <br />of stature. <br /><br /><br />BIOLOGICAL CONTROL <br />The best known natural enemies are the predators ladybugs, wasps, garbage men and spiders; most parasitoids are tiny wasps and microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. Microbial control with Bacillus thuringiensis <br />(Bt) is efficient (GALLO et al., 2002). The most used varieties are kurstaki (Btk) and aizawai <br />(Bta) (CARDOSO et al., 2010). <br /> With commercial formulations of Bt, after 24 to 72 hours of consumption of the leaves <br />treated, the caterpillars stop feeding and then die releasing more Bt than <br />may infect new caterpillars. <br />When applying this biological insecticide, sprayers that do not <br />were used with conventional agrochemicals, to which they are highly sensitive <br />(CARDOSO et al., 2010). <br /><br />The Ascia monuste orseis, also known as the cabbage looper, is a common caterpillar that attacks plants in the Brassicaceae family, such as cabbage, broccoli, and cauliflower. It undergoes a complete metamorphosis process, beginning as an egg, developing into a larva, going through the pupa stage, and finally emerging as a butterfly. <br /><br />The Ascia monuste orseis larva is characterized by its green color with yellow and black stripes along the body, and reaches a length of about 5 cm when fully developed. It feeds voraciously on the leaves of the host plant, causing significant damage if not controlled. <br /><br />During the pupa stage, the caterpillar transforms into a cocoon that is usually hung on a nearby plant or object. After a few weeks, the adult butterfly emerges from the cocoon, with a wingspan of up to 6 cm. The Ascia monuste orseis butterfly is orange with black spots on the forewings and hindwings, and can be seen flying during the day. <br /><br />Despite its colorful and attractive appearance, the cabbage looper can be a serious pest for farmers and gardeners. Biological control, such as the introduction of natural predators, and the use of natural pesticides can help minimize the damage caused by this caterpillar.
