Predation of Sentinel Eggs in Cotton and Sorghum in New Mexico

Sentinel bollworm eggs were placed in cotton and sorghum plots for 48 hours. After 48 hours the sentinel eggs were removed from the field and examined unde4r a dissecting microscope  in the laboratory. Predation was evaluated by classifying damage to the eggs. We are comparing the % total predation, and percent of eggs with damage from predators with chewing vs sucking mouthparts.
