Euschistus conspersus and E. variolarius - brown stink bugs
Desription: Upper body brown or grey overall, mottled or spotted appearance, underside light tan or light green. Pronotum with small serrations along the outer edges. Legs are yellow or tan and covered in black spots. Wing membranes are dark, but faint spots are visible. Antennae are yellow with brown tips. Conspersus means “with spots” in Latin. E. variolarius is slightly larger than E. conspersus, has points at the edge of the pronotum, and usually has a lighter scutellum with a faint spot at the tip.
Hosts: Very wide host range. E. conspersus can be a pest in apples in Washington and California. Often found feeding on wine grapes, but not considered a major pest of this crop in Oregon.
Range: Both are common throughout Oregon. Found in the western United States.
