The imported ragweed borer Epiblema strenuana (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) and local Siberian cocklebur stem borer Ostrinia orientalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) are important biocontrol agents against ragweed ( Ambrosia artemisiifolia ) and have similar feeding characteristics In order to evaluate interspecific interactions between these two biocontrol agents, food and spatial overlap were evaluated quantitatively in 2001 in the Field Experimental Station of Hunan Agricultural University, Changsa C...
