INSECTS OF COMMERCIAL IMPORTANCE IN FLORIDA— 
THEIR IDENTIFICATION AND CONTROL (Continued ) 
S28 f ee 

HARLEQUIN CABBAGE BUG. 
These bugs are colored black or 
dark blue with gaudy red or orange 
marks. In the northern section of 
Florida they frequently attack cab- 
bage, mustard, turnips and radish. 
GREEN PUMPKIN BUG 
(SOUTHERN STINK BUG). 
The adults are light green, while 
the nymphs are dark bluish with 
pronounced red markings. In 
South Florida, particularly in the 
Homestead area, they occasionally 
become a major pest on potatoes, 
tomatoes, some sub-tropical fruits, 
and tangerines. During the last 
several years, North Florida truck 
crop growers also have reported 
heavy infestations of pumpkin 
bugs.

ANTS. These variable-sized insects are too well known to 
need further description but their control in yards, in and 
around shrubbery or trees, and in turfs and lawns is sometimes 
a very troublesome problem. Listed below are two highly 
specific and effective controls.

SQUASH BUG. The adult is dark brown, in some cases finely 
mottled with lighter brown or gray. The newly-hatched nymphs 
are reddish but change quickly to green and black, the green 
gradually changing into gray. Although these buys can be found 
in all vine crops, they prefer squash and pumpkin. 
Adult 

LEAF-FOOTED PLANT BUG. 
The adults are reddish brown or dark 
brown. One important species has a 
narrow transverse band of light yellow 
or white across the middle of the 
back. In the Homestead area, these 
bugs at times are a serious menace 
to tangerines and other citrus crops.
