StarStarStarStar

Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus)

StarStarStarStar

Altered migratory patterns due to changing temperatures. Habitat range shifts northward, and increased frequency of extreme weather events can impact survival rates.

StarStarStarStar

European Corn Borer (Ostrinia nubilalis)

StarStarStarStar

Warmer temperatures may allow for additional life cycles during the growing season, increasing crop damage and altering control strategies.

StarStarStarStar

Bark Beetle (Family: Scolytidae)

StarStarStarStar

Milder winters and drought-stressed trees lead to more successful beetle outbreaks, causing forest health decline.

StarStarStarStar

Mountain Pine Beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae)

StarStarStarStar

Rising temperatures enable increased reproduction and spread to higher altitudes and latitudes, causing widespread forest damage.

StarStarStarStar

Cabbage White Butterfly (Pieris rapae)

StarStarStarStar

Earlier appearance in spring and potential for increased number of annual generations, potentially leading to more crop damage.

StarStarStarStar

Honeybee (Apis mellifera)

StarStarStarStar

Changes in flowering times affect pollen availability, disrupting pollination. Unusual temperature patterns can affect hive behavior leading to difficulties in overwintering.

StarStarStarStar

Colorado Potato Beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata)

StarStarStarStar

Earlier emergence and longer growing seasons can lead to more generations per year, increasing crop damage potential.

StarStarStarStar

Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda)

StarStarStarStar

Higher survival rates of overwintering populations and extended seasonal activity can lead to increased agricultural damage.

StarStarStarStar

Mosquito (Family: Culicidae)

StarStarStarStar

Expansion of geographical range, including spreading of tropical mosquito-borne diseases. Increased breeding rates with warmer temperatures and changes in precipitation patterns.

StarStarStarStar

Japanese Beetle (Popillia japonica)

StarStarStarStar

Warmer winters can increase survival rates; changing precipitation patterns may affect larval development stages and adult beetle dispersal.

StarStarStarStar

Western Honey Bee (Apis mellifera)

StarStarStarStar

Shifts in climate may lead to mismatches between bee emergence and plant blooming, impairing pollination efficiency and honey production.

StarStarStarStar

Aphid (Family: Aphididae)

StarStarStarStar

Increased temperatures accelerate aphid lifecycle allowing for more generations per season, which may result in increased plant stress and crop losses.

StarStarStarStar

Mediterranean Fruit Fly (Ceratitis capitata)

StarStarStarStar

Warming climate may widen the range of suitable habitats, and increased winter survival could lead to greater agricultural impacts.

StarStarStarStar

Asian Tiger Mosquito (Aedes albopictus)

StarStarStarStar

Able to expand its range due to warming climate, potentially increasing the spread of diseases such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya.

StarStarStarStar

Desert Locust (Schistocerca gregaria)

StarStarStarStar

Changes in rainfall patterns can lead to unpredictable swarming events, causing widespread damage to vegetation.
