"There is a big tree by the flower bed in front of my house, and the tree is full of bugs, densely packed, and the color is particularly bright. I am in my 70s and have never seen such bugs, will these bugs bring harm to nearby residents? On September 10, Mr. Zhang, a citizen who lives in Tangjia Lane, Yuecheng District, Shaoxing City, reflected.
Under the guidance of Mr. Zhang, the reporter found the tree full of insects by the flower bed behind the Tangjialong Construction Bank. "Three days ago, when I was walking, I occasionally saw a bush by the flower bed, and the bush was full of red worms, especially the ailanthus tree, which was crawling with bugs, mostly the size of a thumb." Mr. Zhang said.
"At first I thought the bugs were just a small gathering, but then I found that the whole bush was there. These days the worms have crawled to the house. "During the conversation, there was a wind blowing, and a bug on the tree fell on Mr. Zhang's arm.
In addition to Mr. Zhang, Ms. Li, who lives nearby, also encountered the same situation. "I often walked past the Tang family, and two days ago I suddenly saw many small insects on the side of the road that I had never seen before." Ms. Li said that at that time, the roadside and the corner were crawling with small insects, and the insects would gather together in pairs, making people look panicked.
"Dongfeng Kindergarten is nearby, and there are many children passing by every day when going to and from school. It's hot and the kids are wearing sandals, what if they get bitten by these bugs? These bugs are particularly bright in appearance and beautiful in color, and it is said that the more beautiful the bugs, the more toxic they are, is it true? Ms. Wang, who came to pick up and drop off children nearby, said anxiously.
The reporter caught a bug to observe, and found that these bugs are relatively special in appearance, red or yellow throughout, with spots on the back, six legs, large bugs are even the size of fingernails, and small ones are also the size of rice grains.
What exactly is this bug and is it harmful to the human body? On September 10, the reporter asked Chen Xiulong, director of the forest disease and pest control and quarantine station in Shaoxing City. Chen told reporters that this insect is called "bug", commonly known as "stink bug", belongs to the hemiptera bug family, generally appears in the deciduous leaves, tree heads, or shady places in the corners of the roadside.
"Bugs are still nymphs, red or yellow throughout, and they will have wings when they grow up." Chen said that this season coincides with the high incidence of bugs, and bugs are social insects, so they will be seen in clusters. Bugs suck tree sap for a living, are harmless to the human body, generally do not cause skin allergies, and do not bite people, so the public do not have to be afraid. However, when the bug encounters danger, it will emit a foul odor, which is very unpleasant.
In terms of prevention and control, Chen station manager suggested using 2.0% thiamethorine microcapsules 200 times liquid or green Weire microcapsules 300 to 400 times liquid spray, these drugs have little impact on other insects, low environmental pollution, and good control effects.
