Have you or your children noticed some pretty little black bugs with yellow or white spots that sort of look like ladybugs in your vege garden lately?
They could be on your bean plants, tomatoes, grape vines or various other plants.

The bad news is that they aren't ladybugs or even pretty in any way. They are in fact the nymphs of the green vegetable bug (Nezara viridula), a sap sucking bug that will suck the life out of your tomatoes, beans, grape vines and all sorts of other garden plants. The green vegetable bug is also known as, green stink beetle as they emit a pungent smell when crushed and also shield bugs because of their shape in adult form. I have found that fly spray seems to upset the little buggers in their nymph form which seem to be active now, and but of course there are more active remedies available from your favourite garden shop. Always check under leaves for the eggs which will be in a group of about 60 and rub them off. The green vegetable bug (Nezara viridula) has been in NZ since1944.
PLEASE NOTE, these are not the brown marmorated stink bug/Asian stink bug that MPI want reported to them if seen.
