Looks like the same bug from the picture. Also they are entering my upstairs bathrooms. I looked at the link above but could not find any information on notifying the study but I would like someone involved to know that these critters have made it over to the west coast!

I live in Central New Jersey, about 15 minutes out of Pennsylvania. I go out on my deck, and they sneak in through my sliders and screens. It does get quite annoying. I grab a napkin and toss them back out the door! I had a "battle" with them one day. I had 3 or 4 in the house, by the time I got the last one out, I had about 10 that came back in! They're just annoying and I don't want them scaring my 4 month old baby!!! I have the same problem for the past 2 years with these stink bugs.

We just moved here to Washington DC on military orders in late summer. I am a smoker so I step outside often. I would see this bug all the time well not that it is cold, they are invading my home. Ok well more like my upstairs bathrooms. It is odd cause they never fly out. But anyway. My son and I just had a encounter with one while brushing his teeth and I said enough is enough I need to find out what this ugly and loud bug is. When it flies it sounds like a mini lawn mower.. Ok so from Eric's last post I was able to tell what that icky bug was. (and thank you V.M from Washington, D.C cause your picture helped me a lot) and anyway was able to do some more research on it.. There is a study going on right now of these things and here is the link. http://njaes.rutgers.edu/stinkbug/about.asp There you can put your info in and they said they will call you to confirm. Also they said if you can send a live sample in, that would be great too. Right now my bug is locked in the bathroom.. so when my husband wakes up, he will have the honors. I am thinking though that we have really poor bathroom vents and they are coming though that way. We live on Bolling AFB (navy side, so not kept up as much) and they are housing them selves in our bathrooms. They never leave even when the door is open. I am not about to go after one of those they look like bug tanks so I make the Marine do it ;) I just have no idea why if they worked so hard to get into my home, why wouldn't they look for food? Maybe someone knows why they like our bathrooms so much? Is it all my super girly smelling foo foo stuff that attracts them? LOL Semper Gumby, Diana Ok I love this site.
