Field Notes

Description:

- Female stink bugs lay egg clusters on the underside of leaves and stems, usually in late spring or early summer.

Habitat:

- The eggs are laid in masses of 20-30 and are barrel-shaped. The harlequin bug, Murgantia histrionica (see illustration), a beautiful orange and black variegated bug, lays equally bright eggs. This southern United States stink bug is quite common and sometimes spreads north to New England states in years of abundance. It is readily found in cabbage crops.
