In the Western U.S., Lygus spp. (Hemiptera: Miridae) can cause major losses to cotton, vegetables, seed crops, and a variety of other crops. Management of Lygus is further complicated by intercrop movement of this polyphagous pest. The purpose of this ESA Network is to facilitate communication and collaboration among entomologists working on various aspects of Lygus biology, ecology, and management.
