Have you seen this stinky pest in your garden? 🔍
Brown marmorated stink bugs stow away on cargo from the northern hemisphere between September and April each year.
They can end up anywhere that imported goods are held or distributed, ready to escape and find something to eat.
They could be hiding in your garden and their favourite foods are apples, corn, beans, capsicums and tomatoes.
There are a number of Australian native stink bugs which are similar to brown marmorated stink bugs. However, the white bands on its antennae and around its edge are distinguishing features.
