Event Navigation
Brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys, BMSB) is a mottled brown coloured, shield shaped stink bug. It is a voracious feeder, affecting about 300 known plants including nuts, fruit, vegetables and ornamentals.
During the blitz look for BMSB in your backyard or local botanic gardens. If you see what you suspect to be a BMSB catch it in a secure container, take up to 4 photos of the bug and send a report to the ‘botanic gardens’ project in the MyPestGuide™ Reporter app.
