Dear Ted,
The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug is non-native species introduced from Asia that has spread across North America in a very short time. They seek shelter indoors when the weather cools. According to the USDA site, the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug: “Feeds on a variety of plants, including fruit trees, ornamentals, and some crops.”
