I found leaf damage and live nymphs about 1.5 metres up a tree. I also found a few live adults near the fallen stump.

This is a cox-burr growing at the release site. It has signs of leaf damage similar to the tingid damage on the CC. This may be totally unrelated but I thought it was worth documenting. Even if there was minor damage to the surrounding vegetation the plants would be better off in the long run. DPI testing showed Tingid could hatch on other species of plant but would die long before adulthood.

The vine covered stump we used as the main release site fell over some time between 2-dec-07 and 2-feb-08. I'm not sure if it happened before, during or after the main flood.
