The compact carpenter ant, Camponotus planatus (Roger), although primarily an arboreal species, is increasingly becoming recognized as a structural pest in Florida. This common name is still unofficial. A smaller, more "compact" and close relative of the Florida carpenter ant complex (Camponotus floridanus and C. tortuganus) and often found living in close proximity with them, the compact carpenter ant is the subject of numerous inquiries to pest control operators in the South Florida area. This document is EENY-189, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The Florida carpenter ant complex is comprised of several species, two of which are common around structures: Camponotus floridanus (Buckley) and Camponotus tortuganus (Emery). These bicolored arboreal ants are among the largest ants found in Florida, making them apparent as they forage or fly indoors and out. This document is EENY-272, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Melonworm, Diaphania hyalinata Linnaeus, occurs throughout most of Central and South America and the Caribbean. The United States is the northern limit of its permanent range, and wintertime occurrence generally is limited to south Florida and perhaps south Texas. Melonworm disperses northward annually. Its distribution during the summer months is principally the southeastern states, though occasionally it disperses north to NewEngland and the Great Lakes region. This document is EENY-163, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

This article provides an estimate of the costs and returns associated with avocado production in Miami-Dade County and a brief analysis of the profitability of the industry. The budget is based on a 5-year average yield of 8,000 pounds per acre (assuming a pack-out rate of 94%) and on estimates of the current average F.O.B. price in South Florida of $0.85 per pound. The budget does not make any provision for establishment costs. Although the assumptions made in computing the costs reflect the practices of the avocado growers in the area, the information provided here is intended only as a guide to facilitate estimating the financial requirements of maintaining avocado groves. Data used in the analysis were obtained from interviews with growers and Extension specialists. This is EDIS document FE575, a publication of the Department of Food and Resource Economics, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida, Gainesville, FL.

This species was first described from Jamaica and is widespread in the West Indies. It may have first become established in south Florida as recently as the early 1950's. Its scientific name (Gryllus assimilis or Acheta assimilis) was applied to all New World field crickets until 1957. This document is EENY-069, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

Rice Pest

There are three species of applesnails in Florida. One is native and the others are introduced. The Florida applesnail, Pomacea paludosa, occurs throughout peninsular Florida (Thompson 1984). It is the principal food of the Everglades Kite (Rostrhamus sociabilis plumbeus Ridgway) and thus should be considered beneficial. The spiketopped applesnail, Pomacea bridgesi, was introduced many years ago into South Florida. However, it is the third species of Pomacea, P. canaliculata, that has caused recent concern to agriculture. This species grows nearly twice the size as the other two species and has become a serious rice pest in many countries. This document is EENY-323 (originally published as DPI Entomology Circular 388), one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.

The Tropics

For years, people have come to south Florida to escape the cold weather and enjoy the subtropical climate. With this migration, horticulturists and amateur plant enthusiasts have introduced many species of exotic plants from the tropics, attempting to create their own tropical oases. While most of these plants either quickly perish or never spread outside of the backyard, a few escape and spread to adjoining natural and semi-disturbed areas and create persistent self-perpetuating populations. These plants are called invasive, and they can wreak havoc in the environments of their adopted home. Arrowhead vine (Syngonium podophyllum) is one of these destructive invaders. This document is ENY-715, one of a series of the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
