Brown Marmorated Stinkbugs Can Bite!...
A few minutes ago I was sitting at my computer editing photos, and felt a gradual pinpricking, stinging sensation in a finger on my right hand.It felt so much like a sting I looked down carefully and SURPRISE...it was a stinkbug drilling into my finger with his piercing mouthparts! In all the times I've seen and picked up and befriended the little buggers, I've never had one try to bite me.They live on plant juices, so this is extremely unusual.
