Abstract
Soybean tentiform leafminer (STL), Macrosaccus morrisella (Fitch) (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), is a leaf-mining microlepidopteran native to North America that was recently discovered feeding on soybean, Glycine max (L.) Merr., in Canada and the United States. A laboratory rearing system for STL was developed on live soybean plants. The methods for continuous rearing or cyclic (i.e., generational) production of insects are described herein. All rearing was performed in a walk-in environmental chamber at 25°C (±2°C), with ~70% relative humidity and a photoperiod of 16:8 (L:D). Adults of STL were allowed to oviposit on clean soybean plants in an oviposition cage. Soybean plants with STL eggs were maintained in a separate immature-development cage for a total of ~2.5 weeks, passing through the egg stage (3–4 days), larval development through the serpentine mine stage (4–6 days), blotch mine stage (5–6 days), and tentiform mine stage to adult emergence (7–10 days). Plants in the tentiform mine stage were then trimmed and transferred to a separate cage until adult emergence, typically beginning 19–23 days after egg oviposition. The methods described allowed for the successful rearing of STL, producing a steady supply of STL adults or plants infested with immature STL. The methodology can be modified to fit the needs of various research projects.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
