Distribution patterns of the cabbage seedpod weevil, Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (Marsham) (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), and its larval parasitoids were investigated in commercial fields of spring canola (Brassica rapa L. and Brassica napus L.) in southern Alberta, Canada, from 2002 to 2004 in relation to developmental stages of its host plants. Adult weevils invaded fields along one or more fronts when crops were in bud to early flower. Significant clustering of adults along field edges in early stages of invasion was followed by more homogeneous distributions as canola reached the mid to late flowering and pod enlargement stages. Larval weevil distributions, as indicated by exit holes in siliques at the end of the season, were often aligned spatially with adult distributions, but they did not coincide in all regions of the fields. The primary ectoparasitoid species attacking weevil larvae comprised Necremnus tidius (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), and Trichomalus lucidus (Walker), Chlorocytus sp., and Pteromalus sp. (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae). Parasitism rates increased from 0.1 to 5.0% over the three years of study. Parasitoid distributions were often, but not consistently, spatially associated with high densities of C. obstrictus larvae. Lack of close spatial alignment of parasitoids and their hosts probably reflects low parasitoid numbers in comparison with an abundant resource of weevil larvae, and a lack of co-evolutionary history between host and parasitoids. Some parasitoids invaded fields early in host plant development, at the same time that weevils invaded. Unfortunately the synchronous invasions of host and parasitoids indicate that insecticidal applications to reduce adult weevil infestations may be detrimental to these beneficial species.
