Stink bug commented on by keaaa5 Rockville, Maryland, USA11 years ago

This heinous insect is an epidemic! It is an alien species to the US and is causing havoc on our produce. i have seen homes covered by them here in Maryland. America needs to wake up to the destructive power of this single insect. Here is a great write up from PennState Entomology: http://ento.psu.edu/extension/factsheets...

Ahh good point, though only feet from the MD border it is not MD.

Wheel Bug commented on by keaaa5 Maryland, USA11 years ago

Oh yes that is it! Thanks +KeithRoragen - Thanks to your reference I researched the Kissing Bug ( http://bugguide.net/node/view/561944 ) - not the same obviously, but it appears they are related. Both considered 'assassin' bugs...

Broadhead skink commented on by keaaa5 Maryland, USA11 years ago

Could it be a Five-lined skink rather the the Broad-headed skink?

Brown Mamorated Stink Bug commented on by keaaa5 Bangor, Maine, USA11 years ago

Beware this may be a nymph form of the non-native, highly invasive, destructive, difficult to destroy Brown marmorated stink bug.
