#Brown marmorated stink bug

i refer to stinkbugs that find their way inside as "men" and in this case i think this is Actually A Man

Standing on two legs operating a switch? Yeah, that's a man

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

What's that smell? Why, it's the brown marmorated stink bug! These insects are famous for their distinctive protection against predators; when threatened, they emit a foul odor. What this odor smells like varies from person to person-- comparisons have been made to cilantro, pepper, fermenting apples, sulfur, skunks, or burnt tires. A few people can't even smell stink bugs at all!

A brown marmorated stink bug manifested in our bedroom (this keeps happening to us and i don't??? know how they keep getting in here????) but i finally actually googled them and turns out they're not only an invasive species where i live but also a significant agricultural pest. so i just... put him in a kritter keeper. we'll... see how it goes, i guess???

the fact that I posted this on other social media and it was disproportionately liked by people who live in my province makes sense.

The Canadian Council on Invasive Species (CCIS) gave a short presentation of the top 10 invasive species already in Canada or that could come to Canada from south of our border and that we therefore should be on the alert for. 

The top 10 invasive species were as follows:

Asian long-horned beetle, Anoplophora glabripennis

Spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula

Asian giant hornet, Vespa mandarinia

Emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis

Hemlock woolly adelgid, Adelges tsugae

Brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys

Dutch elm disease, Ophiostoma ulmi and Ophiostoma novo-ulmi

Japanese beetle, Popillia japonica

Spongy moth (also LDD moth; previously gypsy moth), Lymantria dispar dispar

Lily leaf beetle, Lilioceris lilii

I have definitely seen at least three of these species and/or the damage they have done, specifically 4, 8, and 9. 

You can help by reporting these species through, for example, iNaturalist. CCIS has their own project on iNaturalist, titled “I Spy and Identify Invasives / Je vois, J’identifie les espèces envahissantes”, which you can join: https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/i-spy-and-identify-invasives-je-vois-j-identifie-les-especes-envahissantes. The CCIS also has a whole webpage on how and where to report: https://canadainvasives.ca/take-action/report/.

Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (nymph) - Halyomorpha halys

This insect is approaching its adult stage where it will receive its wings and be able to fly around wherever it pleases (as long it has the energy to do so). Before that molt, it will have to rely on running to get where it needs to go, and so I have a small story to share with this individual. My mom was the one who actually found the insect at first and called me to see it. The young Stink Bug was seemingly trying to blend in with the patterns on the recliner to stay hidden while soaking in the sun. I picked it up to get a closer look and when done, placed it on the leaves seen in the pictures. It scampered up the leaf and down the stem. A few minutes pass, and the Bug is back on the top of the chair! Later, my mom picked it up and put it on the soil while tending to the yard’s plants. A few minutes later, it’s back on the chair! This is honestly astounding to me. It knew exactly where to go and got there very quickly. The running is fascinating enough, but the insect still needs to know where it’s going in order to get there.  As I understand, Stink Bugs have reasonable vision to navigate the world, but I also think that his individual may have relied on environmental cues or scents to find its way back to the chair. 

Since insect antennae function in some ways like noses, they may have been the key to finding that sunny spot. Not only are those antennae handy from sniffing the world, they are also handy for confirming the identity of the insect. Those alternating bands of black and white (one long, one short) are easily noticeable from the second instar all the way up to adulthood. Look for the bands and a mottled look across the abdomen and slight darkening at the leg joints. The nymphs also feature pairs of little yellow spots across their back which mostly disappear after the adulthood molt. Likely, this individual will reach that final molt around mid-August at the very latest. The new generation of adult Stink Bugs will then enjoy the summer and early autumn until conditions grow too cold. They will hideaway to overwinter and emerge in the spring to lay eggs and continue their own circle of life. However, sometimes the insides of homes (especially attics) is far more comfortable for them to wait out the winter than the outdoor soil. Keep an eye on your home’s nooks and crannies as winter approaches as a Stink Bug infestation can be quite a nuisance, especially to indoor. Fortunately, they are harmless to humans outside of their stink defenses.

Update (August 12, 2022): 3 more pictures have been added. In pictures 8-10, the nymph has darker coloration along the leg joints and was found probing the magnolia tree’s seed pods. With its mottled colors, it blends into the tree’s bark easily, but the underside color doesn’t match at all.

Pictures were taken on July 30 and August 12, 2022 with a Google Pixel 4. No humans or chairs were stunk up in the making of these pictures.

i just cant get any good images of this guy fjdhegeh

anyway. Stink Bug Experiment Update: hes surprisingly active, always in a different spot when I check on him. He's also usually hiding in there which is pretty impressive as I did not give him that much room to hide

he gets up in the corners of the lid which are pretty good blind spots apparently. keeps making me think he somehow escaped. i dunno if he's Hiding or trying to get fresh air or what but he keeps doing it

considering his activity level i'm tempted to upgrade him into a larger enclosure (the old beetle kritter keeper, probably) and maybe trying to decorate it a little more densely to help him feel secure, but i'm going out of town for all of next week so I'll have to do that when I get back
