Brown Marmorated Stink Bug

Gardens, orchards, and agricultural fields; frequently seeks shelter indoors during cold weather

Herbivorous: feeds on a variety of plants, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental trees by piercing the surface to suck juices

Notable for releasing a pungent chemical odor when threatened or crushed; exhibits 'overwintering' behavior by aggregating in large numbers in human-made structures

Significant agricultural pest causes damage to crops; nuisance pest in homes. Harmless to humans (does not bite/sting), but can cause allergic reactions in some individuals
