Green Stink Bug

Found in orchards, gardens, woodlands, and fields across North America.

Herbivorous; feeds on a wide variety of plants including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental trees by sucking sap.

Diurnal; notable for producing a foul-smelling liquid from thoracic glands as a defense mechanism against predators.

Considered a significant agricultural pest that can damage crops; harmless to humans although their defensive odor is unpleasant.
