Harlequin bug -- when do they typically appear?
I saw a harlequin bug today. I couldn't believe it. It seemed too early.

Learning never ends because we can share what we've learned. And in sharing our collective experiences, we gain deeper understanding of what we learned.

Re: Harlequin bug -- when do they typically appear?
In some parts of the country, such as California, they can appear any time of the year. There are several stages to their life cycle. Check this website out.

I guess they are a problem in brassicas (Cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, etc.) which are generally a cool weather crop. SO, I would say you can expect them to be a problem from early summer until those crops are harvested.
