Seasonal Abundance of the Tarnished Plant Bug (Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois)) on Wild Host Plants in the Midsouth

Field collections of Lygus lineolaris (Palisot de Beauvois), the tarnished plant bug, were made from wild host plants throughout the year. Several collections a week were made across the Delta region of Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi for three years: from June of 2014 through the summer of 2017. Collection locations were georeferenced, and host plant information was recorded in addition to population structure.
