Leptoglossus occidentalis
TaxID: 236887
Basic Information
Leptoglossus occidentalis
Amerikanische Kiefernwanze, Western Conifer Seed Bug
The western conifer seed bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis), sometimes called the pine-beetle, or abbreviated as WCSB, is a species of true bug (Hemiptera) in the family Coreidae. It is native to North America west of the Rocky Mountains (California to British Columbia, east to Idaho, Minnesota, and Nevada) but has in recent times expanded its range to eastern North America, to include Ontario, Qu bec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Michigan, Maine, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Wisconsin, and has become an accidental introduced species in parts of Europe and Argentina. This species is a member of the insect family Coreidae, or leaf-footed bugs, which also includes the similar Leptoglossus phyllopus and Acanthocephala femorata, both known as the "Florida leaf-footed bug". Western conifer seed bugs are sometimes colloquially called stink bugs. While they do use a foul-smelling spray as a defense, they are not classified in the stink bug family Pentatomidae. In Chile, it has been confused with kissing bugs (Triatominae), causing unjustified alarm.
