Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
Halyomorpha halys
Adult brown marmorated stink bugs are shield-shaped insects found in orchards, crop fields, gardens, and around buildings. They feed by piercing fruits, vegetables, and woody plants, often leaving blemishes or corky spots. Adults can fly to new host plants and commonly gather in sheltered places to overwinter, including houses. Their most famous defense is a strong, unpleasant chemical odor released when handled or threatened.
