| Tachycines asynamorus Adel. - Greenhouse Camel Cricket originates from southern China but it was described at the beginning of the 20th century already as an invader from a palm house in the botanical garden of Petersburg (Russia), although it had been found earlier in other hothouses in Central Europe (Praha, 1891; Hamburg, 1892). In Poland the species was reported for the first time from Lower Silesia in 1907 and in the next decade from Pomerania (environs of Gdańsk). Later on, it was noted several times in hothouses in western and southern Poland. Before World War I Greenhouse Camel Cricket was considered a greenhouse pest in many countries but studies carried out in Poland by Simm (1926) and Bednarz (1957) proved that it fed mainly on snails, therefore it could be used for protection of greenhouse plants. Unfortunately, in many hothouses (also in botanical gardens) there were used chemical insecticides, which reduced the populations of Greenhouse Camel Cricket, and in some cases completely eliminated them. It is, however, possible to restitute the species through introduction of its small populations and abandonment of the use of pesticides for plant protection. |
