The brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, is a relatively new invasive pest in the United States, and in recent years has become a serious agricultural issue. Fruits, vegetables, legumes, and ornamental plants are all part of a wide host range; in the mid-Atlantic United States, H. halys has already caused millions of dollars in documented damage. Most current control strategies of H. halys involve the use of chemical applications to protect crops, and have disrupted Integrated Pest Management (IPM) systems. In order to protect IPM management strategies in Pennsylvania, I evaluated H. halys activity levels in the field and the laboratory. I also evaluated feeding preferences of H. halys between peppers and sunflowers, and hypothetical implications of H. halys invasions in other countries. I began by looking at diurnal and nocturnal behavior of H. halys adults and nymphs in fruit orchard arenas placed on apple, peach, and nectarine tree limbs. From this research, I found a general pattern of increased activity during the evening hours. To better explore this pattern and the driving factor behind it, I placed H. halys in laboratory growth chambers and monitored them during 24-hour cycles. Diel patterns emerged in keeping with the field experiment (increased activity later in the evening), which persisted in completely dark conditions, indicating that the activity patterns were linked to a circadian rhythm. In order to determine if there is a plant preference between pepper and sunflower crops, I planted pepper fields surrounded by sunflower crops, thereby creating a trap cropping setup. The attractiveness of the sunflowers was sufficiently greater to make it a potential trap crop, although more studies need to be completed to provide recommendations for a season-long protection of vegetables. iv In addition to these field and laboratory components, a hypothetical invasive species awareness program was created for Belgrade, Serbia. This was based upon surveys and a focus group questionnaire that was presented to several Serbian scientists, farmers, and agricultural consultants about the importance of invasive insect awareness in their country. v TABLE OF CONTENTS LIST OF FIGURES ............................................................................................................ viii LIST OF TABLES

McPherson2 ABSTRACT A comparative study was conducted of the field life histories of Euschis­ tus servus and E. varialarius in southern Illinois, their life cycles under con­ trolled laboratory conditions, and their immature stages. The results indicate that E. servus is bivoltine and E. variolarius is univol­ tine. Adults of both species emerged from overwintering sites during early April, began feeding and copulating on leaves of common mullein (Verbascum thapsus) and surrounding vegetation, and reproduced shortly thereafter.

Packauskas1 Abstract Forty eight species of Pentatomidae are listed as occurring in the state of Kansas, nine of these are new state records. A key to all species known from the state of Kansas is given, along with some notes on new state records. ____________________ The family Pentatomidae, comprised of mainly phytophagous and a few predaceous species, is one of the largest families of Heteroptera. Some of the phytophagous species have a wide host range and this ability may make them the most economically important family among the Heteroptera (Panizzi et al. 2000). As a group, they have been found feeding on cotton, nuts, fruits, veg- etables, legumes, and grain crops (McPherson 1982, McPherson and McPherson 2000, Panizzi et al 2000).

Liburd2 Introduction in the membranous area of the hemelytra, a characteristic present in other Euschistus species. Euschistus quadrator Rolston was described in 1974, with specimens from Mexico, Texas, and Louisiana. Euschistus quadrator was not found in Florida until 1992. It has since spread throughout the state as well as becoming an agricultural pest of many fruit, vegetable, and nut crops in the southeastern United States. It has a wide host range, but is most commonly found in cotton, soybean and corn. Euschistus quadrator has recently become a more promi- nent pest with the introduction of crops such as Bt cotton and an increase in the usage of biorational or reduced-risk pesticides. Distribution Euschistus quadrator is originally from Texas and Mexico, and has since been reported in Louisiana, Georgia, and Florida. Description Figure 1.

An invasive species, the brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Sta˚ l), is spreading through the region. However, little is known about the complex of stink bug species associ- ated with corn and soybean in the midwestern United States. In this region, particularly in the more northern states, stink bugs have historically caused only infrequent impacts to these crops. To prepare growers and agri- cultural professionals to contend with this new threat, we provide a review of stink bugs associated with soybean and corn in the midwestern United States.
