9 Types of Stink Bugs You Might Spot in Pennsylvania

The main culprit in Pennsylvania is the brown marmorated stink bug, an invasive species from Asia. You’ll spot them by their mottled brown coloring and those distinctive white bands on their antennae. Stink bugs tend to make themselves known in the fall, hunting for […]

Thought this Stink Bug looked a bit odd. Seems they may have an enemy. Possibly a Tachinid Fly deposited a couple eggs right between the eyes👍

Finding the Ecological Balance While Countering Invasive Species rutgers.edu/news/finding-ecolo

"In 2003, Anne Nielsen became the first doctoral student in the U.S. to study the brown marmorated #StinkBug, which was beginning its ascendancy as an #InvasiveSpecies... Now an associate professor, Nielsen is also a specialist in tree fruit, with a focus on invasive species like #StinkBugs and spotted #lanternflies. Her goal is to protect the natural world by developing sustainable management practices."

I've just been notified that one of my photos was used in an article in #TheGuardian this last weekend. It's a #stinkbug I photographed in #Shenzhen in 2017, Erthesina fullo, the yellow-spotted stink bug.

#entomology #iNaturalist #Hemiptera

A brown shield bug with a yellow stripe down its thorax, yellow checkered edges to the abdomen and yellow bands on its legs and antennae. It's crawling over the reddish bark of a tree trunk.

Any ideas what to do with this visitor? Lens has it as a Western conifer seed bug, doesn't belong here in southeast UK! If so it can apparently emit smelly stuff if I try to move it!

It can't stay where it is though.
