Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Nymph)

Agricultural fields, gardens, and orchards; nymphs are typically found on the undersides of leaves of host plants.

Herbivorous; they use piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on various fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants.

Nymphs undergo five stages of development (instars) before reaching adulthood. They are known for congregating in groups and emitting a strong odor from scent glands when disturbed.

Considered a major agricultural pest that damages crops; they can become a nuisance in homes during colder months, though they do not bite humans or pets.
