Bagrada hilaris (Burmeister, 1835) - (Bagrada bug, painted bug)

The bug is native to Asia, Africa and some parts of the Mediterranean where it feeds mainly on crucifers. It has been recorded from the south-western U.S.A. since 2008 and has become a serious economic problem there on cruciferous vegetables.

The bug forms aggregations of hundreds of insects. Their feeding activities result on malformation and wilting. Yield losses often exceed 10%. The life cycle from egg to adult lasts around 1-2 months, it overwinters in the adult stage.
