Abstract
The rice stink bug, Oebalus pugnax (F.), entered hibernation quarters during October, and emerged during April; males emerged about 10 days earlier than females. Overwintered females laid about the same number of eggs as females of the 2 subsequent generations. Females reared on rice oviposited an avg. 915 eggs, about twice the fecundity of females reared on vaseygrass and barnyard grass. Fecundity of unmated and mated females was about the same. Of all the eggs laid by females that mated once, 25% were sterile. Mating began during the evening hours, and males were aggressive individuals. The insects mated an avg. 34.1 times during their life time.
