Turgescent plants of different species (17 species of 12 families) and of different physiological state (vegetative, flowering, with young fruits) as well as seeds (29 species of 17 families) have been investigated as food plants forOncopeltus fasciatus. The preference, especially in regard to food and water uptake, is analysed quantitatively. Nonhosts as well as leaves and stems of hostplants serve for water supply, whereby the sucking activity depends on the turgescence of the tissue. Feeding however is considered to be dominant on the reproductive organs of the examinedAslepiadaceae. Feeding punctures, in contrary to those for water uptake, are induced by specific attractants, characteristic to the species. The range of host plants ofO. fasciatus seems to be limited exclusively to the family of theAsclepiadaceae.
对不同物种（12科17种）、不同生理状态（营养期、花期、有幼果期）的肿胀植物以及种子（17科29种）作为红蝽（Oncopeltus fasciatus）的食物植物进行了研究。对其偏好，尤其是在食物摄取和水分摄取方面，进行了定量分析。非寄主植物以及寄主植物的叶子和茎用于提供水分，吸食活动取决于组织的肿胀程度。然而，据认为在所研究的萝摩科植物的生殖器官上取食占主导地位。与水分摄取的穿刺不同，取食穿刺是由该物种特有的特定引诱剂诱导的。红蝽的寄主植物范围似乎仅限于萝摩科。
