This is a Green Stink Bug … really! Stink Bugs are so named because they discharge a foul-smelling fluid when disturbed. These bugs are found in crop fields, orchards, and gardens throughout North America. They love juices of foliage, flowers, and fruit and are considered pests because they damage apples, cherry, orange, and peach trees, eggplant, tomato, bean, pea, cotton, corn, and soybean crops. I found this stink bug on our tractor shed - it is an immature nymph (so it’s not green yet) and is about half an inch long. Who would think that a "Stink Bug" could be so beautiful?
