How red cotton bug attacks cotton bolls ?

Cotton Bug

The sap from the green bolls is sucked by insects. At the same time, the fluid leaking from its body promotes the growth of bacteria and fungus, lowering the quality of cotton. The problem appears to be worsening from January forward. Because this pest is also found in harvested cotton, the price of cotton bales suffers as a result of red spots on the cotton during the ginning process. Pests have been on the rise for the past 4-5 years.
