[IUFRO RG 7.03 FORENT] Le punaise du pin - WANTED ALIVE!

Dear all, I'm Ana Farinha. I've just started a 2 years post-doc in the BIODIV team at INRA Bordeaux, France (Tittle: Tackling biological invasions of forest insects: from alien species invasiveness to ecosystem invasibility) . My supervisor is Hervé Jactel. I will be working with the western conifer seed bug ( [ https://www.insectes-net.fr/punaise/leptoglossus2.htm | Leptoglossus occidentalis ] ), rearing it in the lab. If you happen to see them hibernating and could be kind to catch them alive and sent me I would be very pleased (they usually seek warm places like the interior of homes during the wintertime). I will need to have a large colony by summertime. Thank you very much for all your possible help. Best regards, Ana Farinha
