“…Since initial discovery of H. halys populations in the mid-1990s in Allentown, PA, USA, it has quickly spread in the USA and now officially has been detected in 41 US states ( for updates). This stink bug is an adept hitchhiker and often detected in vehicles and freight shipment (Holtz & Kamminga, 2010 ; Tindall et al , 2012 ). Indeed, genetic evidence supports that North American populations of H. halys are likely derived from a single founding event (Gariepy et al , 2014 ; Xu et al , 2014 ).…”

Brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Stål), is a highly polyphagous invasive species attacking both cultivated and wild plants increasing its threat to ecosystems as a global pest. However, dispersal biology of this invasive species is not well understood. This study evaluated the flight capacity and behavior of H. halys under laboratory, semi-field, and field conditions. Flight mills were used to measure the baseline flight capacity of adults collected year round from the field and included both foraging and overwintering populations. The effects of abiotic conditions such as wind speed and temperatures on the free flight parameters of H. halys were evaluated under semi-field and field conditions. The mean flight distances over a 22-h period were 2442 and 2083 m for male and female, respectively. Most individuals (89%) flew <5 km, though some flew much further with a maximum flight distance observed of 117 km. Flight distances by H. halys increased after emergence from overwintering sites in spring and reached their highest point in June. The incidence of take off by H. halys was significantly affected by the wind speed; when provided with still air conditions, 83% of individuals took off, but the rates decreased to <10% when wind speed was increased to or above 0.75 m s−1. The incidence of take off by H. halys was significantly affected by ambient temperature and light intensity in the field, whereas relative humidity and insect sex did not. When the temperature was at 10–15°C, 3% of individuals took off, but the proportion of H. halys taking flight increased to 61, 84, and 87% at 15–20, 20–25, and 25–30°C, respectively. In the field, prevailing flight direction was biased toward the opposite direction of the sun's position, especially in the morning. The implications of H. halys flight biology are discussed in the context of developing monitoring and management programs for this invasive species.

“…2). Since then, a series of reports have been published confirming the detection or establishment of H. halys in the US (e.g., Bernon et al 2004;CDFA 2005;Hamilton and Shearer 2003;Jones and Lambdin 2009;O'Donnell and Schaefer 2012;Sites et al 2012;Tindall et al 2012;Zack et al 2012), Switzerland (Wermelinger et al 2008), Liechtenstein (Arnold 2009), Canada (Fogain and Graff 2011), Germany (Heckmann 2012), France (Callot and Brua 2013), Greece (Milonas and Partsinevelos 2014), Hungary (Vétek et al 2014), and Italy (Haye et al 2014). This stink bug was also intercepted in New Zealand (Harris 2010).…”

“…The reduced use of broad-spectrum insecticides within the last two decades following the deployment of Bt -transgenic cotton and maize has led to increasing densities of native stink bugs [ 50 , 51 ]. This is in addition to the spread of invasive species such as P. guildinii and BMSB, particularly in areas such as the Midwest, where stink bugs were historically not a threat to the major crops in the region [ 38 , 52 , 53 , 54 , 55 , 56 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 ]. Broad-spectrum insecticides—e.g., carbamates, neonicotinoids, organophosphates, and pyrethroids—are still the most widely used tools for managing stink bugs in the US [ 7 , 61 , 62 , 63 ], despite the development of resistance to these insecticides by some stink bug species [ 51 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 , 68 ].…”

Stink bugs comprise a significant and costly pest complex for numerous crops in the US, including row crops, vegetables, and tree fruits and nuts. Most management relies on the use of broad-spectrum and disruptive insecticides with high human and environmental risks associated with them. Growing concerns about pesticide resistance in stink bugs are forcing pest managers to explore safer and more sustainable options. Here, we review the diverse suite of natural enemies of stink bugs in the US, noting that the egg and the late nymphal and adult stages of stink bugs are the most commonly attacked by parasitoids, whereas eggs and young nymphs are the stages most commonly attacked by predators. The effectiveness of stink bugs’ natural enemies varies widely with stink bug species and habitats, influencing the biological control of stink bugs across crops. Historically, biological control of stink bugs has focused on introduction of exotic natural enemies against exotic stink bugs. Conservation and augmentation methods of biological control have received less attention in the US, although there may be good opportunities to utilize these approaches. We identify some considerations for the current and future use of biological control for stink bugs, including the potential for area-wide management approaches.
