Indoxacarb S -DPX-JW062 is an oxathiazole insecticide with activity against a wide range of insect pests. Indoxacarb is used in forest pest management to control insect pests, and its toxicity has significant effects on adult individuals of the predatory stink bug Podisus distinctus. Indoxacarb showed high toxicity to P. distinctus at a lethal concentration LC50 = 2.62 g L-1 . Indoxacarb treatment significantly reduced the survival rate of P. distinctus, with the survival rate of individuals exposed to 2.62 g L-1 decreasing to 40.7 %. Indoxacarb also reduced the respiration rate of P. distinctus from 18.45 to 14.41 ?L CO2 h-1, and inhibited its food intake. P. distinctus showed hyperexcitatory responses after Indoxacarb treatment.
