The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB; Halyomorpha halys) is an invasive insect that has spread to over 40 states in the last 15 years.  It is considered a significant nuisance pest (as large numbers of them enter homes in early fall) and a serious crop pest (as it feeds on over 300 different plant species).

In order to understand how widespread this bug is in Maine, the Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry, Division of Animal and Plant Health is seeking reports of sightings of BMSB in Maine.
