Brief Project Summary:

The bean plataspid, also known as Kudzu Bug, was first identified in Georgia in 2009 and has rapidly moved north to the Carolinas, Tennessee and southern Virginia. Since there are indications that the Kudzu Bug will potentially reach Delaware in 2012, a statewide survey will be conducted to determine its presences and/or movement.
