BMSB? - Halyomorpha halys
Perry County, Pennsylvania, USA
October 3, 2009
Size: 8-13 mm
I am assuming these are all BMSB (brown marmorated stink bug). I collected 15 of them from the outside of my house today. they seem to prefer the east side.

They ranged in size from 8 mm to the largest at 13 mm

Maybe I will see if they can breed in captivity since I have so many of them
