This disclosure relates to the field of molecules having pesticidal utility against pests in Phyla Arthropoda, Mollusca, and Nematoda, processes to produce such molecules, intermediates used in such processes, pesticidal compositions containing such molecules, and processes of using such pesticidal compositions against such pests. These pesticidal compositions may be used, for example, as acaricides, insecticides, miticides, molluscicides, and nematicides. This document discloses molecules having the following formula (“Formula One”).

##STR00001##

Provided is a bipyridine compound that exhibits an excellent controlling effect against noxious arthropods. In particular, provided is a bipyridine compound of formula (I) or an N-oxide thereof in which the variable groups are as defined in the specification. Also provided are compositions containing the biypridine compound or an N-oxide thereof, and methods of using such compounds and compositions to control noxious arthropods.
