Lygus Bugs

Lygus bug
Lygus bugs feed on the buds, flowers and the developing seeds. Lygus bugs include several species of true bugs that are yellowish brown or greenish in color and are about 1/4 inch long as adults. Feeding on unopened flowers or buds can result in deformed or blasted heads. Later feeding in the flowers and seeds can result in unfilled heads and shriveled seeds. The economic significance of this damage is not well understood and no treatment guidelines have been developed.
