The Stink Bug is a type of insect belonging to the family Pentatomidae. Known for their distinctive shield shape, these bugs can vary in color, often appearing in shades of green or brown. They are primarily herbivorous, feeding on the sap of plants, which can cause damage to crops and gardens. When threatened, Stink Bugs release a foul-smelling chemical as a defense mechanism. This odor can be quite strong and is meant to deter predators. They are commonly found in many regions, especially during the warmer months, and can become a nuisance when they invade homes seeking shelter.
