The attractiveness of live adult stink bugs used as baits in traps in soybean fields, Milyang, Korea, to conspecific stink bugs was evaluated. Both sexes of bean bug,Riptortus pedestrisFabricius (Hemiptera: Alididae),and one-banded stink bug,Piezodorus hybneriGmelin (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae),were attracted to conspecific male adults-baited traps. Likewise, both sexes of brown-marmorated stink bug,Halyomorpha halysSt l (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), and sole bug,Dolycoris baccarumL. (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae),were attracted to traps baited with conspecific male stink bugs. However, inNezara antennataScott (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae), both male and female used as baits in traps were attractive to conspecific adults. Accordingly, these results suggest that the only male adults ofH. halysandD. baccarumand both sexes ofN. antennataare attractive to conspecific male stink bugs.We evaluated attractiveness of conspecific stink bugs to adult stink bug-baited traps. Both sexes of Riptortus pedestrisand Piezodorus hybneriattracted conspecific male adults. Both sexes of Halyomorpha halysand Dolycoris baccarumwere attracted to conspecific male adults-baited traps. Both sexes of Nezara antennatawere newly attracted to both sexes of conspecific adults.
