Passionvine bug

... that hosts of the passionvine bug include coffee, citrus, mung bean, squash and mango?

Comment: Some of the sources refer to Leptoglossus australis, but this is considered to be a synonym of Leptoglossus gonagra.

Solid article, expansion fine, on good sources, no copyvio obvious. The image is licensed and shows well. We were not able to have Clara Schumann pictured (as a mature woman, not the girlish young pianist) today, - should we see this bug? I wonder why we need two images in the article. Could you say anything more interesting than a list of common plants? Such as that they "hurt" the hosts by inserting toxic salive? "hosts" sounds so harmless. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:12, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

Thanks Gerda. The toxic saliva is common to other members of the family and the range of crop host species is surprisingly wide. I only add an image to a hook when it is a particularly good image whereas some people add an image to almost every hook they nominate! Cwmhiraeth (talk) 10:33, 19 December 2019 (UTC)
