A similar study investigating "L. lineolaris" from two geographical regions in terms of differing developmental time, fecundity, hatch rate, and survivorship was conducted. The researchers were interested in examining the reasons for "L. lineolaris" being a more influential pest in the Delta region as compared with the Hills region of the Mississippi. Although there were no differences found in the development time, fecundity, hatch rate, and survivorship of the "L. lineolaris" captured from the Delta and Hills regions, the researchers suggest that the larger area of the Delta region might have caused the "L. lineolaris" population to be subjected to more insecticides thereby having more resistance and causing more pest-related issues.
