褐黄球须刺蛾(Scopelodes testacea Butler)俗称辣蛆或八角蛆,在容县境内及邻近的藤县、平南县等均有发生,是为害芭蕉的重要害虫之一。在容县每年发生两代,对芭蕉为害一般第一代较轻,第二代较重;山区较平原重。为害严重时,整片叶被吃光,只剩下光秃的中肋,影响产量和质量。除为害芭蕉外,对龙眼树亦有轻微为害。如果人的皮肤触及幼虫,奇痒剧痛。据查文献资料,尚无该虫记载。为了更好地防治此虫,我们作了一些观察。 Scopelodes testacea Butler, commonly known as spicy maggot or octagonal maggot, occurs in Rongxian County and neighboring Tengxian County and Pingnan County.
