Colorado potato beetles are serious agricultural insect pest defoliators. Commercial farms need limit leaf damage that can ruin an entire crop for serious yield loss. This 15X hands lens helps identify its bright yellow-orange oval eggs or its early larval instar with black legs & black spots. It can also help distinguish CPB from false potato beetle egg masses for effective biological, chemical or cultural control Potato Pest Management.

Cultural control protects natural predators and limits pesticide resistance. Hand removal of unhatched eggs from the undersurface of the host plant's leaves is something a home gardener can do for eggplant, peppers or tomatoes but is not practical for commercial potato fields.

IPM recommends biological control with beneficial insects like the two-spotted stink bug (aka double-eyed soldier bug), Perillus bioculatus which is a natural predator of the potato beetle.

This 15X folding loupe is one of our most popular custom imprinted pocket magnifying glasses; see examples of 2 colors used with corporate promotional gift field magnifying glasses. See Branding & Related Products below for adding a logo (NOT included).

Details

Plant-derived compounds, called allelochemicals, are gaining in use. Azadirachtin is a botanical biopesticide that works on the soft bodied larval stage of Colorado potato beetles. It acts as an antifeedant that disrupts insect growth & has low toxicity compared to biocontrol agents (e.g. B. thuringiensis) & natural predators.

Genomic research has determined that the potato beetle could be a model system for agricultural pest genomics. Recombinant DNA techniques can be used to interfere with evolution by altering its genetic diversity. If you use DNA based methods for species identification, you may be interested in our various DNA models. Our best teaching model allows you to configure base pair sequences as DNA barcodes.

University extension programs can add a full color image decal of an adult mite & larval stages or put adults/nymphs (8 legs) & larvae (6 legs) on opposite sides to assist in identification. Alternatively, these magnifiers can be used for business promotion with simple 1 color logo screen printing.

Use this loupe for biology/geology field studies. Or, read fine print if a simple hand magnifier isn't enough. More at: What Magnifying Glass Do I Need for Reading?

No complaints for the price! It produces clear images easily. The plastic seems durable enough, but I have not tested it. The only improvement I would like to see is some sort of attachment point for a lanyard or cord. I have used it to examine some of the Brood X cicadas and various other insects and plants. Very helpful for the curious biologist though you won't be able to see cells unless they are abnormally large. Also, Indigo Instruments has great customer service!

Thanks for the review & feedback. We haven't been able to get a version with both a loop to attach a lanyard & a flat surface to allowing branding (printing). Our Phone Camera Dissecting Microscope shows a close up of a fly but we recommend the 10X 23mm for its better depth of field. It might also allow you to see cells such as leaf stomata or cork.

Just what I was looking for. My grandkids are using them to examine bugs and flower parts in their yard.

— Indigo: Happy we could help with their science adventures.
