Brown Marmorated Stink Bug - Animal India

The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Halyomorpha halys) is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, native to China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian regions. The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) was accidentally introduced to the United States in 1998. It is currently spreading throughout most of eastern and western North America, with the highest concentrations found in the Mid-Atlantic region. The BMSB is proving to be a nuisance for homeowners and can be devastating for farmers. It is feeding on a variety of plants, including fruit trees, ornamentals, and some crops. It is also entering houses in large numbers on warm fall days in search of overwintering sites. Adults are about 17 mm long and are shades of brown on both the upper and lower body surfaces. They are shield-shaped and almost as wide as they are long. The BMSB has piercing-sucking mouthparts and is feeding on fruits, seeds, stems, and leaves. It can switch hosts throughout the season, moving from plants with early-ripening fruits to those with late-ripe

            Trichomyrmex Destructor - Destructive Trailing Ant - Animal India

            Trichomyrmex destructor is a species of ant in the subfamily Myrmicinae. Its common names include destructive trailing ant or Singapore ant. It is a pest species in urban areas, known for causing costly damage to structures, vehicles, and electronic devices with its chewing activity. This is a "tramp ant," an invasive ant species that easily becomes established and dominant in new habitats due to traits such as aggression toward other ant species, little aggression toward members of its own species, efficient recruitment, and large colony size. As a tramp ant, it spreads throughout the world via human transport systems, particularly shipping. It is present in or has been reported from many countries and islands in Asia, Africa, Australasia and other Pacific islands, the West Indies, North, Central, and South America, and Europe. Here, a group of destructive trailing ants (Trichomyrmex destructor) attack and kill an earthworm, then cut it into pieces and take it away to the ant nest to eat in Tehatta, West Ben
