What is an opportunist?

An "opportunist" is a population (fungi, bacteria, insects…) that takes advantage of a favourable environment to settle in, multiply and feed on it. It often develops when the natural defences of the affected organism are weakened — for genetic reasons or linked to context (water stress, deficiencies, nutritional imbalances, overcrowding…). This is typically the case in monocultures, where a single host plant, uniform and present in large numbers, offers ideal ground for it to spread.

Identification key : Shield bugs and true bugs (Adult (and nymphs resembling the adult))

Scientific name : Halyomorpha halys

Other names : BMSB

Stink bug about 1.5 cm long, mottled grey-brown, native to China, Japan and Korea, introduced to North America in the 1990s and now established in Europe and South America. Nymphs and adults feed on more than a hundred plant species: pome and stone fruit, hazelnut, grapevine, maize, soybean, vegetables and ornamentals, leaving distorted fruit with corky patches. In autumn adults gather inside houses to overwinter.
