Two New Invasive Pests in Washington: Spotted Wing Drosophila and Brown Marmorated Stink Bug Northwest Wholesale Pesticide Recertification Meeting Pateros Central Building, Pateros, WA 21 February 2013 10:40-11:10 am Elizabeth H. Beers Tree Fruit Research & Extension Center 1100 N. Western Ave. Wenatchee, Washington
Common Washington Stink Bugs Red-shouldered stink bug Green soldier bug Consperse stink bug Chlorochroa spp
Along with the native species there is a new player, the brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys (Stål). Referred to as the beast in the east the BMSB is an introduced pest. Looks superficially like the consperse stink bug but characters that easily distinguish it. Consperse stink bug Images E. Beers, courtesy 2013 of Dr. Tracy Leskey USDA-ARS

SWD in 2013. SWD caused significant economic damage in southern districts in 2012 2012 was closer to normal than previous 2 years Not enough information to predict longerterm patterns of attack and damage Time to start thinking about resistance management
