Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Nymph)

Agricultural fields, gardens, and orchards; often seeks shelter in human structures during colder months.

Highly polyphagous, feeding on over 170 species of plants including fruits (apples, peaches, berries), vegetables, and ornamental trees.

Goes through five nymphal stages before adulthood. Known for congregating in large numbers and emitting a pungent odor from scent glands when disturbed or crushed.

Considered a major agricultural pest that causes significant crop damage. They do not bite or sting humans, but they are a nuisance pest in homes and can cause allergic reactions in some individuals.
