  2. Description • Adults are approximately 17 mm long (25 mm = one inch) and are shades of brown on both the upper and lower body surfaces (Fig. 1). • http://www.ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/brownMarmoratedStinkBug.htm

  3. It is known to be established in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Oregon • http://www.ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/brownMarmoratedStinkBug.htm

  4. The eggs are elliptical (1.6 x 1.3 mm), light yellow to yellow-red with minute spines forming fine lines. They are attached, side-by-side, to the underside of leaves in masses of 20 to 30 eggs • http://www.ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets/brownMarmoratedStinkBug.htm

  6. The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug has a "shield" shaped body that is characteristic of all stink bugs. • http://njaes.rutgers.edu/stinkbug/identify.asp

  7. Since 2000, the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug has been confirmed in several Mid-Atlantic States and in Oregon and California. • http://njaes.rutgers.edu/stinkbug/

  8. The Brown marmorated stinkbug is native to Asia • http://www.invasive.org/species/subject.cfm?sub=9328

  9. Hosts include maple, serviceberry, birch, butterfly bush, pepper, pecan, catalpa, hackberry, redbud, citrus, dogwood, cucumber, fig, sunflower, honeysuckle, tomato, apple, plum, pear, rose, lilac, linden, viburnum and grape. • http://www.invasive.org/species/subject.cfm?sub=9328

  10. The bug is indigenous to Asia and is considered an agricultural pest in Japan. The insects have been found in trees and in houses, where they produce a pungent, malodorous chemical. • http://www.invasive.org/browse/detail.cfm?imgnum=1460052

  12. The insect can be an agricultural pest, threatening apples, pears, peaches, figs, mulberries, citrus, persimmon and soybeans. It was found in Allentown, PA in October, 2001. • http://www.invasive.org/browse/detail.cfm?imgnum=1460052

  13. It shows 6 last or 5th instar nymphs, you can also see feeding damage on the leaf. There is also one last instar or 5th instar of another stink bug, Acrosternum hilare, or the green stink bug. • http://www.invasive.org/species/subject.cfm?sub=9328

  14. a polyphagous pest species and we can expect similar damage and eventually the brown marmorated stink bug will also have a similar distribution (found throughout southern Canada and US). Photo Taken in August. • http://www.invasive.org/species/subject.cfm?sub=9328

  16. they seek overwintering sites in households in the fall and re-emerge in the spring, which makes them a nuisance to homeowners • http://www.wildbiology.com/research/Stink_bugs_are_on_the_move_across_Pennsylvania.asp

  17. First reported in Lehigh County in September 1998, these exotic stinkbugs are now officially reported in 26 Pennsylvania counties • http://www.wildbiology.com/research/Stink_bugs_are_on_the_move_across_Pennsylvania.asp

  18. They can find their way through cracks around windows, doors, siding, utility pipes • http://www.wildbiology.com/research/Stink_bugs_are_on_the_move_across_Pennsylvania.asp

  19. Behind chimneys and underneath wood fascia and other openings should be sealed with silicone or silicone-latex caulk. • http://www.wildbiology.com/research/Stink_bugs_are_on_the_move_across_Pennsylvania.asp

  20. Life Cycle Adults over-winter in structures and protected sites; they emerge in April to mate. 1 generation in PA, up to 5 in S. China! Fall temperatures chase adults indoors. http://www.npdn.org/Library/ViewDocument.ppt?filetype=ppt&DocumentId=8110#292,8,Life Cycle

  21. Plant Damage in USAso far….. Fruits Asian Pear, Peach, Apple, Raspberry, Grape, Apricot Damage appearing in orchards and backyard gardens Beans Ornamentals Buddleia, Rosa spp., Honeysuckle, Paulownia Shade trees Norway Maple, Catalpa, Crabapple http://www.npdn.org/Library/ViewDocument.ppt?filetype=ppt&DocumentId=8110#290,14,Plant Damage in USA so far…..

  22. Like the boxelder bug, leaf-footed pine cone bug and multicolored Asian lady beetle, the BMSB will cluster in large numbers in structures. http://www.npdn.org/Library/ViewDocument.ppt?filetype=ppt&DocumentId=8110#293,16,Here we go again….
