This pest is also known in some countries as the Green Vegetable Bug. It occurs throughout the Americas, in various Pacific Islands, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Africa. First seen in Hawaii in 1961 on Oahu, it has spread to all major islands.

Southern Green Stink Bug

Close-up of a green and brown shield bug on a blue surface.
Close-up of a green insect, possibly a leafhopper or planthopper, with antennae and visible wings, on a light-colored surface.

Per David Preston of the Bishop Museum “This is Plautia stali Scott, 1874 (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). It is naturalized on Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui & Hawaii, and is widespread throughout Oceania. Known as the Oriental stinkbug in Hawaii. This bug attacks a wide range of plant hosts feeding mostly on ripe or ripening fruits. It is a pest of guava in Hawaii. What appears to be a hole on the dorsal view of the bug is probably the result of a tachinid fly (Trichopoda sp.) introduced as a control for the Southern green stinkbug. These parasitic flies do not discriminate and they are in part responsible for the decline of our endemic Koa bug (Coleotichus blackburniae).”

Clerada Predatory Bug

Adult Per David Preston of the Bishop Museum: “I believe the bug to be the cockroach predator Clerada apicicornis Signoret. This is a Lygaeid bug. An immigrant species first recorded in Hawai‘i in 1878.”

Nymph

Per Frank Howarth of the Bishop Museum “The distinctive color pattern and shape of the head and wings make the identification of the leaf hopper fairly secure. It is Spanbergiella quadripunctata Lawson, 1932, family Cicadellidae – or a close look-alike. This species is introduced to Hawai’i and so far known from Kauai, Oahu and Maui. All cicadellids suck sap, and some are serious agricultural pests.
