OK, now I know what a stink bug looks like. They are one of the main reasons it takes sooo long for stuff to arrive here from the US. I am still waiting for a parcel that was delivered to my shipper back in August. I'm told by my shipper that it takes a looong time to fumigate containers for this bug. We DON'T want them here.
Shipments from the US are about the most problematic of all foreign sources because there are so many nasties that have gotten past lax border controls in that country but we want to keep out.
I assume they get the name stink bug because they make a strong smell. Is it when they are squashed or threatened or when? Do they breed prolifically and do they damage crops etc?
