Observations on Lepidopteran Leaf-Shelters as Molting Refuges for the Stink Bug Elasmucha Putoni (Heteroptera: Acanthosomatidae)

When molting to the adult, the acanthosomatid bug Elasmucha putoni form aggregations on the wild mulberry Morus bombycis. The 5th-instar nymphs and/or newly molted adults were found more often in leaves rolled, folded, or tied by tortricid larvae than on unmodified leaves. Bugs probably seek prote...
