Green Stink Bug (Acrosternum hilaris) surely, if you live in an area with Brown Marmorated Stick Bugs coming into your abode, day and night, SURELY you know that this is NOT the BMSB.

The Green Stink Bug is not often seen around here, but I’ve known that it is native to this continent, so I was of the attitude, “It’s native, so it is not a problem.” Goodness, did I ever get that one wrong!

In the Biology And Management Of The Green Stink Bug, Journal Of Integrated Pest Management, K L Kamminga, A L Koppel, D A Herbert, Jr, and T P Kuhar write, The Green Stink Bug is one of the most damaging native stink bug species in the United States.

Wow. I had no idea what I was looking at.
