The objective of this presentation is to point
out some visual differences between the southern
green stink bug and the brown stink bug, which
are common pests in Louisiana agricultural crops.
Only those characteristics easy to distinguish
under field conditions are discussed. Biology and
habits are not included (in detail). It should be
noted that there are many other stink bugs
species, which are brown or green in color. This
presentation covers only differences between
southern green Nezara viridula (L.) and brown
Euschistus servus (Say) stink bugs. Many thanks
to Dr. Melissa Willrich for providing ALL the
photographs used in this presentation Boris A.
