Scouting for pests: Tarnished plant bug Raymond Cloyd Entomology, Kansas State University


Tarnished plant bug adults are 3 to 6 mm long, oval-shaped, and mottled brown with several small black, brown, red or yellow markings on the body. A white or black triangle is typically visible on the front of the abdomen. The antennae and legs are relatively long.

The MSU IPM Program maintains this site as an access point to pest management information at MSU. The IPM Program is administered within the Department of Entomology, fueled by research from the Michigan Agricultural Experiment Station, delivered to citizens through MSU Extension, and proud to be a part of Project GREEEN.
