Summary:Use of artificial substrates of different colors for oviposition by the stink bugs Euschistus heros (Hemiptera, Pentatomidae). Aiming to contribute to a rearing methodology for the brown stink bug. Euschistus heros, in the laboratory, we evaluated oviposition on artificial substrates of different colors. During six days, oviposition was evaluated daily, by counting the total number of eggs, number of clutches, and eggs clutch. Females laid 12,463 eggs, in 1,677 clutches, resulting in an average of 7.28 plus or minus 0.44 eggs/clutch. Black, brown, and green felt had the most eggs and clutches. The results demonstrated that many colors are suitable as oviposition substrate for E. heros, providing information for the mass rearing of this insect.
