Editor's Notes
- The stink bug (Halyomorphahalys) came from China, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. It is now located in the mid-atlantic region. They are a nuisance both indoor and out.
- They are almost as wide as they are long. “Stink bug” refers to the scent glands located on the dorsal surface of the abdomen and the underside of the thorax.
- Stink bugs lay eggs in large masses of 20 – 30. Commonly found in Southern US where its warm. Spreading up north.
- Not only does the stink bug depend on plants to live, but also to reproduce. Stink bugs depend on plants as a safe place to deposit their eggs, which are usually in groups of 20 to 30 eggs in a mass. After eggs hatch, they are nymphs, which remain near the egg masses working together. As the nymphs develop, they begin to slowly move away and feed. Then move into adulthood, and repeat the mating process once they find a mate.Read more:
- yes stink bugs do bite humans. The stink bug's first line of defense is release of their odorous chemical toxin which acts primarily to discourage predators from attacking it.When bitten by a stink bug, the affected area will break out similar to a blister or rash. The stink bugs bite will not cause any long term effects and should be treated like any other non-poisonous bug bite.
