Abstract:

A total of seventeen different species of darkling beetles were collected using pitfall traps at agro-forest, ragi field and grassland at Agricultural College, Karekere, Hassan, Karnataka. The beetles exhibited habitat preference. Rhytinotas pp. and Pachycera spp. were confined to grassland whereas Menearchus spp. were limited to ragi field only. Activity of beetles was less at agro-forest. The minimum temperature, maximum temperature, saturation vapour pressure deficit and rainfall had correlation of -0.30, +0.05 +0.29 and +0.50 respectively with trap catches.


Keywords: Tenebrionid beetles, Pitfall trap catch, Weather factors
