Many instances of stink bugs and moths, pests that damage fruits and vegetables, have been spotted this month.

The Gunma Agricultural Technology Center has set up capture devices at seven locations in the prefecture to investigate the outbreak.
According to the center, 60 German-winged green stink bugs, about three times the average, were spotted at a survey site in Takasaki City, where the highest number of bugs was found. In addition, 34 moths, whose larvae feed on leafy vegetables, were spotted at a survey site in Showa Village.
The center says that the outbreak of both stink bugs and moths is earlier than average, and that more have been spotted.
