“…This seasonal polyphenism has been reported in many insect species including heteropterans (e.g. the mirid Notostira elongata, the pentatomids Plautia crossota stali and Euschistus servus) (Dolling, 1973;Kotaki & Yagi, 1987;Borges et al, 2001; for a review, see . The present experiments show that changes of adult colour are gradual and controlled by photoperiodic conditions: adults remain green under long-day conditions and turn russet under short-day conditions.…”

Abstract. The effect of photoperiod and temperature on the duration of the nymphal period, diapause induction and colour change in adults of Nezara viridula (L.) (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) from Japan was studied in the laboratory. At 20 °C, the developmental period for nymphs was significantly shorter under LD 10 : 14 h (short day) and LD 16 : 8 h (long day) than under intermediate photoperiods, whereas at 25 °C it was slightly shorter under intermediate than short‐ and long‐day conditions. It is assumed that photoperiod‐mediated acceleration of nymphal growth takes place in autumn when day‐length is short and it is unlikely that nymphal development is affected by day‐length under summer long‐day and hot conditions. Nezara viridula has an adult diapause controlled by a long‐day photoperiodic response. At 20 °C and 25 °C in both sexes, photoperiodic responses were similar and had thresholds close to 12.5 h, thus suggesting that the response is thermostable within this range of temperatures and day‐length plays a leading role in diapause induction. Precopulation and preoviposition periods were significantly longer under near‐critical regimes than under long‐day ones. Short‐day and near‐critical photoperiods induced a gradual change of adult colour from green to brown/russet. The rate of colour change was significantly higher under LD 10 : 14 h than under LD 13 : 11 h, suggesting that the colour change is strongly associated with diapause induction. The incidences of diapause or dark colour did not vary among genetically determined colour morphs, indicating that these morphs have a similar tendency to enter diapause and change colour in response to short‐day conditions.

“…Stink bug feeding for second to Þfth instars and adults was based on insertion of the stylet into the plant along with observations of feeding behavior. Color change was used as an indicator of diapause for N. viridula and E. servus adults (Harris et al 1984, Borges et al 2001. Even though color is not a completely reliable indicator of diapause (Seymour and Bowman 1994), it can be a good indication of the timing and presence of diapausing individuals in crops.…”

Influence of Corn on Stink Bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in Subsequent Crops

In southeastern United States farmscapes, corn, Zea mays L., is often closely associated with peanut, (Arachis hypogaea L.), cotton, (Gossypium hirsutum L.), or both. The objective of this 3-yr on-farm study was to examine the influence of corn on stink bugs (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae), Nezara viridula (L.), and Euschistus servus (Say), in subsequent crops in these farmscapes. Adults of both stink bug species entered corn first, and seasonal occurrence of stink bug eggs, nymphs, and adults indicated that corn was a suitable host plant for adult survival and nymphal development to adults. Stink bug females generally oviposited on cotton or peanut near the interface, or common boundary, of the farmscape before senescence of corn, availability of a new food, or both. Adult stink bugs dispersed from crop to crop at the interface of a farmscape in response to senescence of corn, availability of new food, or both. In corn-cotton farmscapes, adult stink bugs dispersed from senescing corn into cotton to feed on bolls (fruit). In corn-peanut farmscapes, adult stink bugs dispersed from senescing corn into peanut, which apparently played a role in nymphal development in these farmscapes. In the corn-cotton-peanut farmscape, stink bug nymphs and adults dispersed from peanut into cotton in response to newly available food, not senescence of peanut. Stink bug dispersal into cotton resulted in severe boll damage. In conclusion, N. viridula and E. servus are generalist feeders that exhibit edge-mediated dispersal from corn into subsequent adjacent crops in corn-cotton, corn-peanut, and corn-peanut-cotton farmscapes to take advantage of suitable resources available in time and space for oviposition, nymphal development, and adult survival. Management strategies for crops in this region need to be designed to break the cycle of stink bug production, dispersal, and expansion by exploiting their edge-mediated movement and host plant preferences.

“…Identification of adults was based on a taxonomic key [29], and identification of nymphs was based on several years of experience rearing stink bugs in the laboratory. During reproductive diapause, the abdomen of E. servus tends to change from green to reddish brown [30], therefore reddish-brown E. servus and E. tristigmus adults captured in traps were considered to be overwintering.…”

Stink bugs (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) are polyphagous pests that cause significant economic losses to a variety of crops. Although many species have been documented to aggregate within agricultural fields, much less is known regarding the timing and distribution of adults and nymphs within and between surrounding non-crop habitat. Therefore, we explored the spatiotemporal distribution of Euschistus servus (Say), Euschistus tristigmus (Say), and Chinavia hilaris (Say), three species of North American origin, and examined whether distribution patterns varied between species according to habitat. Stink bugs were monitored weekly for three years within an 18 km2 grid of pheromone-baited traps. We tested whether habitat affected distribution patterns, used spatial analysis by distance indices (SADIE) to identify aggregations, and visualized distributions with interpolated maps. Overall, E. servus adults were captured in crops, whereas E. tristigmus adults and nymphs were mainly captured in forests. Accordingly, distribution patterns of E. tristigmus were relatively stable over time, whereas aggregations of adult E. servus varied over space, and the timing of aggregations reflected the phenology of major crops. Chinavia hilaris was most often captured in forest, followed by crop habitat. Pest management strategies for stink bugs may require an area-based management approach that accounts for movement in agricultural fields and surrounding habitat.
