Infestation by rice and fruit bugs (Heteroptera) became a nationwide problem in Japan in the early 1970s. Nine rice bug species and three fruit bug species have been designated as economically…

Global warming may work in favour of natural enemies (except for spiders) by increasing the number of generations more than in their host species by each rise of 1°C.

Of 447 alien insect, phytophagous mite, spider and nematode species in Japan, 415 are insect species, and those introduced species are becoming endemic as a result of various eco-physiological processes occurring after their establishment.

Nezara viridula has been expanding its range northward since the 1960s and coincided well with the areas where the mean temperature of the coldest month exceeds 5°C that has been suggested to be the lowest thermal limit for N.viridula to overwinter successfully.
