Four-Line Plant Bug

Watch Out Four-Line Plant Bug - She Means Business (For Real This Time!) bennett.27@osu.edu Tue, 06/04/2019 - 07:37
In 2018, around this same time period, I wrote a BYGL Alert about the damage in my garden caused by the four-lined plant bug (Poecilocapus lineatus). I was a bit upset because of the amount of damage to a wide variety of plants. I SAID I was going to take action but of course, I never got around to it. Well, that's about to change this year!

Be Alert for Four-Line Plant Bugs! boggs.47@osu.edu Tue, 04/23/2019 - 18:15
Four-Lined Plant Bugs (Poecilocapsus lineatus, family Hemiptera) are one of the quickest hitting spring pests found in Ohio. Hordes of hungry bugs descend seemingly out of nowhere to cause extensive leaf damage, then they just fade away leaving behind their foliar wreckage.
