「荔枝椿象」是臺灣近年新進的外來種害蟲,嚴重危害荔枝、龍眼等無患子科植物。卵初產時淡綠色,漸轉為灰褐色,近孵化時呈紫紅色,一般14顆卵。雖然不會主動攻擊人類,但受到驚擾時會分泌臭液,若不慎觸碰臭液,輕則造成皮膚灼燒感,嚴重甚至引發潰爛,噴到眼睛更可能造成失明。
The lychee stink bug, Tessaratoma
papillosa, is a recently introduced pest
to Taiwan, causing damage to plants of
the family Sapindaceae, such as lychee
and longan. In the early stage, the eggs
are light green, then turn ash brown.
Just before hatching they are purplish
red. There are generally 14 eggs in one
clutch. Although they do not attack
humans, when disturbed these insects
excrete defensive chemicals from their
scent gland, which can cause a burning
sensation on the skin and even skin
ulcers in severe cases. If these
chemicals enter the eyes, they can
cause blindness.
