Abstract
The paper reports the finding of three invasive species of bugs: Corythucha arcuata (Say, 1832), Halyomorpha halys (Stål, 1855), and Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann, 1910 in the plantations of the dendrological park “Olexandria” and the adjacent territory. For the first time, a hotspot of C. arcuata mass reproduction in oak plantations in the Kyiv region was reported. The significance of these findings for park ecosystems is briefly discussed.
