Stink Bugs

Location/Habitat:

Stink Bugs are agricultural pests widely spread all over the world. Naturally they are found in orchards, gardens, and farms. Stink bugs will start to invade homes during the fall when temperatures begin to drop. Being highly attracted to light, stink bugs can be easily found near windows or other sources of light. They are found to be most active during the seasons of spring and fall.

Identification:

Stink bugs are about ¾ inches long and range in many different colors, with the most common colors being brown or green.  Stink bugs can be easily identified by their triangular or shield-like shaped thorax. These bugs also have piercing mouth parts to suck juice from plants and sometimes other insects, such as caterpillars.
