Brown Marmorated Stink Bug

Agricultural fields, orchards, gardens, and overwintering inside residential or commercial buildings.

Herbivorous; feeds on a wide range of fruits, vegetables, and ornamentals including apples, peaches, tomatoes, and corn.

Known for entering homes in large numbers during autumn to seek warmth for the winter. They release a pungent, foul-smelling chemical from glands on their abdomen when threatened or crushed.

Major agricultural pest that causes significant damage to crops. They do not bite or sting humans, but their presence indoors is a nuisance, and their defensive odor can be distressing. They provide no significant benefits to human ecosystems.
