Green Stink Bug (Chinavia hilaris) can be found in most of eastern North America. Both adults and nymphs can cause injury to fruits, including stone fruits, vegetables, and field crops.

Nymph of Green Stink Bug (Chinavia hilaris).

There are two things that I am thankful for regarding this Stink Bug. First, though I have seen a few of these bugs here on my mountain, they have not been a problem in the vegetable garden at all. Second thing that I am thankful for, I don’t find them in my cabin. Say, “Stink Bug” and I immediately think Brown Marmorated Stink Bug. Ugh. Nothing like that.
