The green soldier- bug, like the Penta- tomid cotton pests which have been considered in the foregoing pages, is a very general feeder. A correspondent of the Division of En- tomology in 1883 ^ reported the insect as occurring in abundance in Flor- ida on tomatoes, egg-plant, turnip, mustard, peas, and oranges. Professor ^^^- ^^â Sanderson*^ has compiled from the publications and correspondence files of the Bureau of Entomology the following additional list of food plants « Trans. Amer. Ent.
