Green vegetable bug ( stink bug )
« on: June 16, 2010, 23:30 »
Right i've been doing a bit of detective work  :lol: why my tomatoes have been curling up ... now i've been getting brown 1cm blotches on my caulies and broccoli leaves , well i think i found one of the little guys thats been causing the damage ... i took these pic's today as i was checking under the leaves for eggs , so watch out if you have brown stains on your leaves ... they suck all the sap out of them  ::)





Oh yeah this little guy is very hard to see if your not looking for him .

This is a common green shieldbug. They are also called stink bugs. Pick one up and you will soon want to wash your hands to get rid of the smell.
