Brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys Stal, is an invasive, herbivorous insect species that was accidentally introduced to the United States from Asia. First discovered in Allentown, PA, in 1996, H. halys has now been reported from at least 40 states in the United States. Additional invasions have been detected in Canada, Switzerland, France, Germany, Italy, and Lichtenstein, suggesting this invasive species could emerge as a cosmopolitan pest species. In its native range, H. halys is classified as an outbreak pest; however, in North America, H. halys has become a major agricultural pest across a wide range of commodities. H. halys is a generalist herbivore, capable of consuming >100 different species of host plants, often resulting in substantial economic damage; its feeding damage resulted in US$37 million of losses in apple in 2010, but this stink bug species also attacks other fruit, vegetable, field crop, and ornamental plant species. H. halys has disrupted integrated pest management programs for multiple cropping systems. Pesticide applications, including broad-spectrum insecticides, have increased in response to H. halys infestations, potentially negatively influencing populations of beneficial arthropods and increasing secondary pest outbreaks. H. halys is also challenging because it affects homeowners as a nuisance pest; the bug tends to overwinter in homes and outbuildings. Although more research is required to better understand the ecology and biology of H. halys , we present its life history, host plant damage, and the management options available for this invasive pest species.

- Trissolcus japonicus (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) emerges in North America (2015, background): “In the U.S., however, chemical control strategies have not prevented it from causing economic damage in fruit and vegetable crops (Rice et al 2014).”
- Review of the chemical control research on Halyomorpha halys in the USA (2017, background): “…in the mid-Atlantic region of the country where the bug feeds on tree fruit (Nielsen and Hamilton 2009; Leskey et al. 2012a), various vegetable crops (Kuhar et al. 2012g), soybean (Nielsen et al. 2011; Owens et al. 2013), and other crops (Basnet et al. 2014; Rice et al. 2014; Basnet et al. 2015).”
- Halyomorpha halys, a serious threat for hazelnut in newly invaded areas (2018, background): “halys, the highest percentages of moldy and/or rotten hazelnuts were recorded; hence, an indirect damage due to secondary pathogenic infections through the punctures on kernels and/or to transmission with the feeding stylets cannot be excluded (Rice et al. 2014).”
- Frequency, efficiency, and physical characteristics of predation by generalist predators of brown marmorated stink bug (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) eggs (2016, positive): “Increasingly, generalist predators have been recognized as an important regulator of arthropod herbivores (e.g. Riechert and Lockley, 1984; Riechert and Bishop, 1990; Jones, 1995; Symondson et al., 2002; Messelink et al., 2010).”
