FEEDING RECORDS OF APHIDS (HEMIPTERA: APHIDIDAE)
FROM WISCONSIN
Andrew H. Williams1 , James C. Trager2  and David J. Voegtlin3
ABSTRACT
Basic to our understanding of any animal and its habitat requirements is
knowing what it eats.  Reported here are observations of feeding by 27 species of
aphids encountered in Wisconsin over 1992-2002.
____________________
Knowing what an animal eats is basic to our understanding of that ani-
mal and its habitat requirements.  Reported here are observations of feeding by
27 species of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) collected in Wisconsin by Will-
iams from 1992 through 2002.
Aphids were reared in the lab on the same plant species on which they had
been found feeding so that both wingless and winged adults could be secured.
These were put into 80% EtOH and sent to Voegtlin, who mounted the aphids on
slides, determined them and deposited the specimens in the collection at Illi-
nois Natural History Survey.  Ants tending the aphids were collected, point
mounted and sent to Trager or A. Francouer, who determined them and returned
them for deposition in the Insect Research Collection (IRC) of the Entomology
Department at University of Wisconsin - Madison.  Predators of aphids were
collected, immatures reared out on those same aphids in the lab and adult
specimens deposited in the IRC.
These aphid data are presented in Table 1.  Unless otherwise noted in the
table, all insects were collected by Williams in prairies and savannas, all plants
and aphid predators were determined by Williams, and all ants were deter-
mined by Trager.  Plant nomenclature follows Gleason and Cronquist (1991).
ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Williams’ prairie insect research over 1992-2002 was supported, in part,
by grants from The Prairie Enthusiasts - Southwest Chapter, Citizens Natural
Resources Association of Wisconsin, Lois Almon Small Grants Program, Natu-
ral History Museums Council of UW - Madison, The Nature Conservancy, the
Cooperative Prairie Insect Project administered by Wisconsin Department of
Natural Resources and supported by a grant from U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-
vice Partnership for Wildlife Grant Program, and several private donors, sup-
port for which he is most grateful.  Many individuals were in other ways support-
ive of this aphid research, notably: M. Anderson, M. Black, A. Blattner, C. M.
Brabant, R. Christoffel, J. C. Dunford, G. Eldred, L. A. Ferge, A. Francoeur, J. P.
Gruber, G. Johnson, J. L. Kaspar, K. R. Katovich, S. J. Krauth, N. L. Kriska, D.
LeDoux, A. E. Lisberg, D. L. Mahr, B. Mandernack, J. Maxwell, M. & R. Norman,
C. Ontl, P. J. Pellitteri, U. Petersen, M. B. Price, A. S. Ramsdale, J. & R. Sime,
S. L. Statz and M. Ulrich.  This work simply could not have been done without
the help of E. Y. Williams and D. K. Young.

Williams1 , James C. Trager2  and David J. Voegtlin3ABSTRACTBasic to our understanding of any animal and its habitat requirements isknowing what it eats.  Reported here are observations of feeding by 27 species ofaphids encountered in Wisconsin over 1992-2002.____________________Knowing what an animal eats is basic to our understanding of that ani-mal and its habitat requirements.  Reported here are observations of feeding by27 species of aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae) collected in Wisconsin by Will-iams from 1992 through 2002.Aphids were reared in the lab on the same plant species on which they hadbeen found feeding so that both wingless and winged adults could be secured.These were put into 80% EtOH and sent to Voegtlin, who mounted the aphids onslides, determined them and deposited the specimens in the collection at Illi-nois Natural History Survey.  Ants tending the aphids were collected, pointmounted and sent to Trager or A. Francouer, who determined them and returnedthem for deposition in the Insect Research Collection (IRC) of the EntomologyDepartment at University of Wisconsin - Madison.  Predators of aphids werecollected, immatures reared out on those same aphids in the lab and adultspecimens deposited in the IRC.These aphid data are presented in Table 1.  Unless otherwise noted in thetable, all insects were collected by Williams in prairies and savannas, all plantsand aphid predators were determined by Williams, and all ants were deter-mined by Trager.  Plant nomenclature follows Gleason and Cronquist (1991).ACKNOWLEDGMENTSWilliams’ prairie insect research over 1992-2002 was supported, in part,by grants from The Prairie Enthusiasts - Southwest Chapter, Citizens NaturalResources Association of Wisconsin, Lois Almon Small Grants Program, Natu-ral History Museums Council of UW - Madison, The Nature Conservancy, theCooperative Prairie Insect Project administered by Wisconsin Department ofNatural Resources and supported by a grant from U. S. Fish and Wildlife Ser-vice Partnership for Wildlife Grant Program, and several private donors, sup-port for which he is most grateful.  Many individuals were in other ways support-ive of this aphid research, notably: M. Anderson, M. Black, A. Blattner, C. M.Brabant, R. Christoffel, J. C. Dunford, G. Eldred, L. A. Ferge, A.
