Laccifer lacca, family Lacciferidae, suborder Homoptera Example sentencesExamples - Pigeonpea was once widely grown in China as a host for lac insects, the source of shellac.
- The lac insect is found largely on banyan and juniper trees.
- Beneficial relationships involve those with silk worms, cochineal beetles, honey bees, lac insects, tropical butterflies and food items, such as lepidopteran caterpillars, or grasshoppers.
- The local farmers raise lac insects on the natural host trees and intercrop agricultural crops under the host trees as well.
- The life cycle of a lac insect takes about six months and consists of four stages: egg, larva, pupa and adult.
- Also, as lac insects are cultured on host trees, promotion of lac and its culture helps in eco-system development as well as reasonably high economic returns.
- The lac insect sucks the sap from small branches of the Kusumi tree, then secretes through its pores the lac resin.
- The traditional use of rearing lac insects on the stem of the pigeonpea plant also continues.
- Methods of improved control of lac parasites and of preventing the lac insect from developing as a pest on non-host species need further study.
- This hard resinous coating originates from the plant sap metabolized by the lac insect.
- Insects such as houseflies, bedbugs, locusts, butterflies, honeybees, silkworms, lac insects etc. are well known to mankind, largely due to their economic importance.
