I have a pomegranate tree and have noticed a new type of insect on all of the fruits. Do you guys know what type of insects these are? They are very interesting looking. Thanks
Quoting from the BugGuide site:
Food
Feeds on flowers and fruits of many plants, including citrus, tomatoes, various members of the squash family, and many other plants (3)
Remarks
Considered a pest not only for the feeding damage on various crops but also as a transmitter of plant pathogens.
First appeared in LA in 1996 (Johnson & Allain 1998) and became the dominant species of leaf-footed bug in Satsuma oranges by 2001 (Henne & Johnson 2003)
