Cant get enough ofBug Babies? Go online toFeatured Creaturesto find detailed information about many of the2015 Bug Babies, atentomology.ifas.ufl.edu/creatures.Also online, you can view a slide show of all these bug
babies and more atentomology.ifas.ufl.edu/InsectID/bugbabies.html.
JANUARY:A leaffooted bug, Spartocera fusca.This large, true bug occurs in the southern UnitedStates and south into Argentina. It prefers weedy and
garden habitats, orange groves, and edges of fields. Itis sometimes called orange leaffooted bug.
FEBRUARY:Harlequin bug,Murgantia histrionica.
This gaudy red-and-black stink bug species occupiesmost of the southern half of the United States. Leftuncontrolled, this pest can destroy an entire crop of
cabbage or related leaf vegetables. Hoards ofharlequin bugs suck the sap and cause a plant to wilt,
brown and die.
MARCH:Pine devil, Citheronia sepulcralis. This
moth is found in many of the eastern United States,particularly Florida and Louisiana. Larvae feed onseveral species of pine, but adults do not feed. Thecaterpillars burrow in loose soil when it is time to
pupate.
APRIL:Florida leatherleaf slug,Leidyula floridana.This slug, tan with dark spots, has spread from SouthFlorida into northern Florida, with additionalsightings in Louisiana and Texas. Though it feeds on
ornamental and crop plants, the damage onlyoccasionally is serious. Fully grown, it can reach
more than 2 inches in length.
MAY:A paper wasp,Polistessp. Paper wasps
usually chew up plant and wood fibers, then form theresulting pulp into an aerial nest. Gardeners oftenconsider them beneficial because they pollinate plantsand feed on known garden pests.
JUNE:Saddleback caterpillar,Acharia stimulea.This moth species occupies most of the eastern half
of the United States, where it feeds on a wide array ofhost plant species. As one of the most dangerous
stinging caterpillars, however, its damage to humansis more significant than its damage to plants. Steerclear of this one to avoid getting hurt.
JULY:Australian cockroach,Periplanetaaustralasiae. This species, like many cockroaches,
prefers warm, moist environments. It often lives on
the perimeter of buildings and occasionally mayenter, seeking food. It is very common in the
southern United States and tropical climates.
AUGUST:Hentzs striped scorpion, Centruroideshentzi. This species is commonly found in longleaf
pine and slash pine ecosystems of southern Georgia
and northern Florida. Their preferred location isunder pine bark, but occasionally may be found inhomes and cabins.
SEPTEMBER:A podocarpus aphid,Neophyllaphis
varicolor. This new species was first found in Naples,Florida, in 2010. It is very similar to another aphidcommonly found on podocarpus that is reddish or
purplenot multicolored.
OCTOBER:A native subterranean termite,Reticulitermes hageni. This termite is one of threeReticulitermesspecies native to Florida. This oneflies from December to April, but is much lesscommon in structures than the other two species.
After indoor flights, most native subterraneanswarmers are found dead near windows or in
bathrooms, usually with their wings still attached.
NOVEMBER:A pillbug,Armidillidium vulgare.
Pillbugs are well known for their ability to roll into aball when disturbed. They usually are found indecomposing leaf matter and soil, where they feed onmoss, algae, bark, and other decomposing organic
matter. The pillbugs pictured all are juveniles.
DECEMBER:Asian citrus psyllid,Diaphorina citri.This small insect is a devastating pest of citrusaround the world, and more recently in Florida. Not
only does it cause feeding damage by sucking sapfrom the leaves, but even worse, it transmits bacteriathat cause citrus greening disease, or Huanglongbing.
