Damage in centipede sod associated with crane fly and march fly larvae (Diptera: Tipulidae, Bibionidae) in Mississippi
Florida Entomologist 89 (1), 89-90
Abstract: Larvae of march and crane flies (Bibionidae, Plecia sp. and Tipulidae, Tipula (Triplicitipula) umbrosa Loew) were collected from beneath damaged, low maintenance centipede grass sod in Picayune, Mississippi. Larvae of both species have not been associated previously with turf damage. Larvae and adult T. umbrosa also were found associated with turf in a residential landscape in Saucier, MS. This is the first record of T. umbrosa for Mississippi and a new record of larval habitat.
