Molipteryx fuliginosa

Molipteryx fuliginosa is a species of squash bugs belonging to the subfamily Coreinae.

This species is present in Japan and Southeastern Russia.

Eggs are laid both on host plants in the families Rosaceae and Asteraceae (on which nymphs can feed) and on other substrates, such as the ground.

[3] Eggs develop into adults over a timespan of 80 to 117 days depending on air temperature, passing through five instars.

[4] In Southeast Russia, M. fuliginosa can damage red raspberry crops through feeding on the sap and fruit of these plants.
