Spined Soldier Bug Bugguide Spined soldier bug bugguide Continue Author Angie Lynch This week's blog is important for you to know that we, on the farm, love bees. I know everyone says they love bees; It's very fashionable to love bees right now. But I really think we have a deeper understanding and appreciation for them than the average person. We spend time admiring their hard work every day and we benefit from this hard work more than most. At biHi Park we love them, take literally hundreds of photos of them, and create informative signs to help protect their nests. Our favorite pollinator on our zinnia So when we came across a reddish-orange creature, apparently eating a bee, we were understandably upset and disturbed. And, in a season in which we've had problems with Squash bugs and cucumber beetles, I've been afraid of the worst, thinking big, now we have aggressive little killer bees. BUT, the scientist in me was intrigued, and no one on the farm had seen this behavior before, so we did some research. Predatory stink bug pringating bees on the farm We learned that our creature has predatory stink bugs, particularly the spin-soldier bug (Podisus maculiventris) nymph. We also found that having these guys around the garden isn't really bad news at all! Unlike other stink bugs, the predatory stink bugs each gardener, usually feeding on pests. Both nymphs and adults attack insects more than themselves, and suck body fluids out of their prey with a needle-like beak. Spin troopers bugs up a wide range of insects including: Mexican bean beetles, European corn borax, diamondback moths, corn earworms, beets of army worms, autumn army worms, cabbage loops, imported cabbage worms, Colorado potato beetles, velvet caterpillars and flea beetles (and apparently bees on occasion). Spin-soldier bug can be found in much of North America, on plants where predatory insects are fed. These include: potatoes, tomatoes, sweet corn, cole crops, beans, eggplant, cucurbits, asparagus, apples and onions. This species is so good at pest control that it is commonly used as a biological control in greenhouses. Photo credit: naturally occurring populations of the spin soldier bug should be preserved. This can be achieved by learning to recognize all stages of life (there is a good visual guide here) and leaving them untouched. This is especially important as the spin-soldier bug looks very similar to the new pest expected in our area any day the now-brown marmorated stink bug. The figure below highlights several key physical differences between the two species. Population spin soldiers bug can also be encouraged by planting different crops and flowers in your garden or field. Photos stopbmsb.org So, while we were initially upset by this presence of bugs, now we're pretty pretty to let them roam the farm. We just hope they find out just before the pests and leave our favorite bees alone! Links to Bergisch, K. (2013). Spin-soldier error in Kentucky. McCann, S. (2008).

  • (Pentatomidae) DISSERTATION Presented
    Genome Evolution During Development of Symbiosis in Extracellular Mutualists of Stink Bugs (Pentatomidae) DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alejandro Otero-Bravo Graduate Program in Evolution, Ecology and Organismal Biology The Ohio State University 2020 Dissertation Committee: Zakee L. Sabree, Advisor Rachelle Adams Norman Johnson Laura Kubatko Copyrighted by Alejandro Otero-Bravo 2020 Abstract Nutritional symbioses between bacteria and insects are prevalent, diverse, and have allowed insects to expand their feeding strategies and niches. It has been well characterized that long-term insect-bacterial mutualisms cause genome reduction resulting in extremely small genomes, some even approaching sizes more similar to organelles than bacteria. While several symbioses have been described, each provides a limited view of a single or few stages of the process of reduction and the minority of these are of extracellular symbionts. This dissertation aims to address the knowledge gap in the genome evolution of extracellular insect symbionts using the stink bug – Pantoea system. Specifically, how do these symbionts genomes evolve and differ from their free- living or intracellular counterparts? In the introduction, we review the literature on extracellular symbionts of stink bugs and explore the characteristics of this system that make it valuable for the study of symbiosis. We find that stink bug symbiont genomes are very valuable for the study of genome evolution due not only to their biphasic lifestyle, but also to the degree of coevolution with their hosts. i In Chapter 1 we investigate one of the traits associated with genome reduction, high mutation rates, for Candidatus ‘Pantoea carbekii’ the symbiont of the economically important pest insect Halyomorpha halys, the brown marmorated stink bug, and evaluate its potential for elucidating host distribution, an analysis which has been successfully used with other intracellular symbionts.

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.

Biota Neotropica 20(4): e20201045. https://doi.org/10.1590/1676-0611-BN-2020-1045 Abstract: Pentatomidae comprises a diverse group of stink bugs widely distributed in the Neotropical region. Many species are phytophagous and cause injuries to plants, and can thus be defined as agricultural pests. In this study, the anatomy of the female and male reproductive tracts of three important agricultural pests in Colombia is described: Piezodorus guildinii Westwood, 1837 and Chinavia ubica Rolston 1983, found on soybeans, and Oebalus insularis Stål, 1872, found in rice crops. For that, light microscopy techniques were used. The anatomy of the reproductive tract of sexually mature males of the three species studied consisted of a pair of testes, vas deferens, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory bulb, an ejaculatory duct that opens into an aedeagus, and paired accessory glands.
