Nymphs and adults of the lace bug (Hemiptera: Tingidae) have been found in cassava crops (Manihot esculenta) in Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil. The insects were collected in the field and taken to the laboratory where they were identified based on some morphological traits of the species Vatiga manihotae (Drake) and V. illudens (Drake), which are first reported in the aforementioned state.

The effect of biopesticide compound spinosad in different concentrations was tested for the first time under laboratory conditions against the rapidly spreading forest pest, oak lace bug (, Say 1832), and its effects were compared with the synthetic pesticide lambda-cyhalothrin. These results revealed a significant effect of spinosad at 2 mL/4 L and 2 mL/2 L water concentrations against nymphs. The mortality rate after 3 days was similar to synthetic insecticide effects and reached 94% and 98%, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- Invasive species, like the sycamore lace bug (Corythucha ciliata), are causing significant economic and ecological harm, with their spread being accelerated by climate change.
- Researchers sequenced the genome of C. ciliata and discovered 15,278 protein-coding genes, highlighting expansions related to metabolic processes that may aid its invasion.
- The study identified two main routes of invasion from North America to Europe and Japan, revealing genetic adaptations that may enhance the bug's resistance to environmental stressors.
Comparative Metabolomic Responses of Three Rhododendron Cultivars to the Azalea Lace Bug ().

Article Synopsis
- The study explores how the azalea lace bug affects three Rhododendron cultivars ('Zihe', 'Yanzhimi', and 'Taile') using advanced metabolomic techniques.
- Significant metabolic differences were found among the cultivars after pest stress, with 'Zihe' showing the most drastic changes in its metabolite profiles.
- The research highlights the role of specific metabolites in pest resistance, particularly through pathways like phenylalanine metabolism, offering insights for future pest control strategies.
In recent years, the oak lace bug, Corythucha arcuata, has emerged as a significant threat to European oak forests. This species, native to North America, has in the last two decades rapidly extended its range in Europe, raising concerns about its potential impact on the continent's invaluable oak populations. To address this growing concern, we conducted an extensive study to assess the distribution, colonization patterns, and potential ecological niche of the oak lace bug in Europe.
