Euschistus heros: The Dominant Pest of Brazilian Soybeans


Dive into the intricate details of the Euschistus heros, a prevalent brown stink bug found across Brazil's South, Midwest, and North regions. Notably a significant pest in soybean crops, this 13mm dark brown insect stands out with its spine-like extensions and a distinctive white half-moon patch on its wings. Captured in Brazil in 2021, this photo illustrates both adults and nymphs in their feeding action, revealing their impact on the soybean plants by causing leaf retention.
