Notes: The objective of this study was to investigate the feeding interactions of second–third instar N. viridis on Volkamer lemon trees (Citrus volkameriana) using AC–DC Electropenetrography. Three tethering materials were tested to improve waveform resolution, as well as 3 different input resistances and substrate voltages. https://doi.org/10.1093/jisesa/ieaf063
