Abstract
To resolve our curious observation of presence of the bug Halys dentatus on tumor bearing plants infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a survey was conducted. A total of 532 trees from 10 different families were surveyed for the presence or absence of bug in relation to tumor. The collected data was subjected to statistical analysis ( chi super(2) test of association). These results confirmed the association of the bug with A. tumefaciens infected trees. This bug exhibits cryptic colouration quite often.
