Invasive Stink Bugs and Related Species (Pentatomoidea)

(Ben Green) #1

Nezara viridula ( L .) 363


Distribution of Nezara viridula in the continental United States and Hawaii is presented in Table 7. 2
and depicted in Figure 7.5. Table 7. 2 is a compilation of representative published reports, current elec-
tronic databases on pest distribution, and personal communication with university and federal research-
ers. These latter communications allowed additional insight into unpublished information on the presence
of this species, thus enabling a more complete assessment of its current distribution (Figure 7.5).
