Macadamia Pest Identification Guide: Bugs

This is a photo-heavy identification guide by Schalk Schoeman of Sonbesie Consulting, designed to help growers recognize the true bugs (stink bugs and related Hemiptera) affecting macadamia orchards — covering life-cycle stages from egg to adult (including parasitized and hatched eggs), key identifying features and scouting thresholds for major pests like the two-spotted stink bug, and a visual catalogue of other species encountered in the orchard (coconut bug, yellow-edged bug, green vegetable bug, tip wilter, mosquito bug, and exotic threats like the brown marmorated stink bug), so that growers can distinguish pest bugs from beneficials and scout effectively.
