Contents

Distribution

This species is present in Japan and Southeastern Russia. [1] [2]

Reproduction

After overwintering, female adults copulate multiple times from May thru August, laying between 21 and 36 eggs over multiple oviposition events. Eggs are laid both on host plants in the families Rosaceae and Asteraceae (on which nymphs can feed) and on other substrates, such as the ground. [3] Eggs develop into adults over a timespan of 80 to 117 days depending on air temperature, passing through five instars. [4]

Agricultural Impact

In Southeast Russia, M. fuliginosa can damage red raspberry crops through feeding on the sap and fruit of these plants. [2]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Brown marmorated stink bug</span> Species of Pentatomid insect

The brown marmorated stink bug is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, native to China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian regions. In September 1998, it was collected in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it is believed to have been accidentally introduced. The nymphs and adults of the brown marmorated stink bug feed on over 100 species of plants, including many agricultural crops, and by 2010–11 had become a season-long pest in orchards in the Eastern United States. In 2010, in the Mid-Atlantic United States, $37 million in apple crops were lost, and some stone fruit growers lost more than 90% of their crops. Since the 2010s, the bug has spread to countries such as Georgia and Turkey and caused extensive damage to hazelnut production. It is now established in many parts of North America, and has recently become established in Europe and South America.
