Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
Dear any way,
This is a Brown Marmorated Stink Bug, Halyomorpha halys, an agricultural pest from Asia that was accidentally introduced to North America in Allentown, PA, according to BugGuide. The species has spread to many surrounding states as well as the West Coast. According to BugGuide, it feeds upon “Mostly fruits and other crops. Considered a major agricultural pest in Asia, with potential for causing significant damage to crops in the United States.“ BugGuide also indicates: “may invade homes in the winter by the hundreds” where they become a nuisance, though they will not actually damage the home or its contents and they are not dangerous to humans or pets.
