Essential Kudzu bug Information

Types of Kudzu bugs
Kudzu bugs (scientifically known as Megacopta cribraria) are relatively uniform in species, with Megacopta cribraria being the primary and most widespread type found in the United States. Originally native to Asia, this invasive pest was first identified in Georgia in 2009 and has since spread throughout the southeastern states.
While there is only one predominant species in North America, it's important to recognize that Kudzu bugs belong to the larger family of plataspid stink bugs, meaning they share similarities with other shield-shaped insects. However, Megacopta cribraria is distinct due to:
-
Olive-green coloration with brown speckling
-
Short, broad body (4-6 mm long)
-
Pungent odor released as a defense mechanism
Although there's only one primary species here, understanding its biology is key: adults, nymphs, and eggs may all be seen during warmer months, especially on kudzu vines, soybeans, and the sides of buildings.
