Compared to a control (normal) insect on the left, pupariation of the maggot whose steroid hormone release is disrupted is significantly delayed, and the extended larval feeding period gives rise to a big pupa.

An entomologist at the University of California, Riverside has examined the evidence by analyzing the large body of research done in this area to come to the conclusion that managed bees are spreading diseases to wild bees. See more Researchers at the University of California, Riverside might have found a breakthrough in the spider-control field. In a paper published in the Journal of Economic Entomology the researchers wrote that oil-based pesticides are more effective than water-based pesticides at killing the contents of brown widow spider egg sacs. See More Among social insects, why does it pay to help the queen in some situations but then also pay to kill her in others? What explains why some queens get killed and not others, and why kill her at all? Kevin Loope, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of California, Riverside, explored these questions, and found that by eliminating the queen, a matricidal worker frees the way for workers to lay male eggs.
