Agricultural fields, orchards, gardens, and homes where they seek shelter for overwintering.

Invasive herbivore; feeds on a wide variety of plants including fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamental plants using piercing-sucking mouthparts.

Known for seeking warmth in buildings during fall; they release a pungent odor from scent glands when threatened or crushed to deter predators.

Major agricultural pest that causes significant crop damage; harmless to humans and pets as they do not bite or sting, but can be a major indoor nuisance.
