eridania did not differ when larvae were reared on the artificial diet (4.0 days and 83.39%) and white clover (4.0 days and 84.39%) (Table 1), but the duration differed (P <0.05) from the period observed for apple leaves (5.5 days and 49.9%).

These preliminary confined host suitability tests provide evidence that some economically important agricultural and forage crops such as alfalfa, red clover, and white clover are included in the host range of this newly introduced crop pest, and important crops such as corn, sorghum, tomato, and bell pepper do not seem to be suitable hosts for kudzu bug development.
