Seasonal and intraplant distribution of Orius insidiosus (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) on soybean and possible interactions with Nabis roseipennis (Hemiptera: Nabidae)
Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society 70 (2), 94-99
Abstract: Numbers of Orius insidiosus (Say) collected in Kentucky soybean peaked in mid to late July, while numbers of Nabis roseipennis Reuter peaked after those of O. insidiosus. Nonetheless, there was an overlap in the seasonal occurrence of these species, and some instars of the species occurred at similar heights within the soybean canopy. However occurrence on specific plant parts was different for these predators. O. insidiosus individuals were more commonly found on flowers and pods, whereas N. roseipennis has been reported to occur mostly on leaves. No direct interactions were observed between the two species.
