Brown Marmorated Stink Bug

Found in gardens, orchards, and agricultural fields; frequently enters homes and buildings during autumn to overwinter.

Herbivorous; feeds on a wide variety of plants including fruits (apples, peaches, berries), vegetables (tomatoes, corn, peppers), and ornamental trees.

Known for releasing a pungent odor from scent glands when disturbed or crushed. They are strong fliers and exhibit 'overwintering' behavior, seeking warmth in man-made structures during cold months.

A major agricultural pest that causes significant damage to crops. They do not bite or sting humans and carry no diseases, but their presence indoors is considered a nuisance.
