Lychee Stink Bug – Tessaratoma papillosa

Distribution: Southern China, SE Asia

Body length: 20-24 mm

Adult feeding of the stink bug, Tessaratoma papillosa Drury occurred on flowering, tender and tough branches of the host-plant, litchi. However, their feeding behavior in their pre-overwintering and reproductive stages was obviously different. 50%～70%and 100%of adults fed on all the three kinds of branches in their pre-overwintering and reproductive stages, respectively. Placed on these branches, the pre-feeding period of the stink bugs at pre-overwintering stage was longer than that at reproductive stage. The feeding behavior of the stink bugs on different kinds of branches differed greatly. The pre-feeding period of the stink bugs on flowering or tender branches was much shorter than that on tough one. The stink bugs preferred feeding flowering and tender branches in the choice test. The contents of water, nitrogen and soluble sugars in flowering and tender branches were higher than that in tough one and the content of soluble sugars in all three types of branches varied during the reproductive stage of the stink bug. Tender and flowering branches differed from tough one in morphology and histology.

Camellia Shield Bug (Poecilocoris latus,family Pentatomidae, order Hemiptera) is a very attractive and spectacular shield bug to be found on the foliage of Camellia and tea bushes on various hillside slopes in tropical and sup-tropical regions.

Egg stage 7-10 days, the nymph stage seven, two adult life, or longer.

Arrow Bug - Megarrhamphus truncates

Order: Hemiptera     Suborder: Heteroptera     Infraorder: Pentatomomorpha      Superfamily: Pentatomoidea      Family: Scutelleridae

Scutelleridae is a family of true bugs. They are commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs due to their often brilliant coloration. They are also known as shield-backed bugs due to the enlargement of the last section of their thorax into a continuous shield over the abdomen and wings. This latter characteristic distinguishes them from most other families within Heteroptera, and may lead to misidentification as a beetle rather than a bug. These insects feed on plant juices from a variety of different species, including some commercial crops. Closely related to stink bugs, they may also produce an offensive odour when disturbed. There are around 450 species worldwide.

Length of body 18 -22 mm, the body color tan, the forehead slightly assumes the triangle, the nose point slender, protothorax back board brown bulging dun streak, small shield board long and narrow yellow vertical strip, is brown, the anterior wing leather nature is red, various feet tan, the first full tibia is red. This kind of distribution in the low elevation mountainous area, often appears on the grasses leaf, the nymphae body color yellow, the body back edge has the black streak.

Large Spot Red Bug – Parastrachia japonensis

Distribution: Japan, China, Korea 

Caenorhabditis japonica n. sp. is described from Parastrachia japonensis from Japan. The species is closely related to species of the Caenorhabditis elegans group and shares many characters with them. It differs from these species in having blunt spicule tips of complex shape and in lacking a terminal notch in the bursa velum. Caenorhabditis japonica n. sp. is further characterised by an anterior end with the lips fused in pairs, long and pointed stegostomal teeth, long fringes on the anterior bursa margin and the form of the genital papillae. The species is integrated into the phylogenetic tree of Caenorhabditis. Some resulting consequences for character evolution within Caenorhabditis are discussed. Caenorhabditis japonica n. sp. is associated with a burrower bug, thereby adding a new component to the diverse ecology of Caenorhabditis species.
