Species and Fun Facts: Halyomorpha halys
Originally found in East Asia, stink bugs were not even reported in the United States until the late 1990’s! They get their name from an unpleasant odor released when you crush them or when they are protecting their homes.
The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, native to China, Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and Taiwan. In September 1998 it was collected in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it is believed to have been accidentally introduced. The nymphs and adults of the brown marmorated stink bug feed on over 100 species of plants, including many agricultural crops, and by 2010–11 had become a season-long pest in orchards in the Eastern United States.In 2010, in the Mid-Atlantic United States, $37 million dollars in apple crops were lost, and some stone fruit growers lost more than 90% of their crops. It is now established in many parts of North America, and has recently become established in Europe and South America.
Before purchasing this item you must agree to the following: No claims for small broken parts such as antennae, detached tails, leg, head or broken tarsi. These small parts are easily fixable and you should be aware that you may have to fix (glue) a part or two when purchasing items like this. If there is a major problem I will take care of the matter. These are all natural specimens and may have a leg or part of an antenna missing, I do my best to make sure they are very good but sometimes one gets by me, any damage is very slight and will not effect the looks of the specimen. See my feedback for confirmation. I rarely have a problem but even with good packaging it is impossible for us to Guarantee that specimens will arrive totally intact.
NOTE: If your item is in a glass dome please be aware that the domes are NOT permanently connected to the base. Care has to be taken when opening or removing the dome so not to damage the display or specimen.
