Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
Other Name(s): Stink Bug
Characteristics: The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug is a pest to a large variety of fruit-bearing trees and plants, leaving circular damaged areas on leaves. Originally from Asia, the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug made its way to North America and has been a pest ever since. Their color makes them effective camouflaged insects. Both nymphs and adults feed off of the leaves or fruit sources. Stink Bugs generally derrive their namesakes from the foul-smelling odor that the insect produces when threatened or disturbed, produced by specialized stink glands in both the male and female.
