Yes, it is Halyomorpha halys. I am a graduate student studying the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug. For more information, please go to www.rce.rutgers.edu/stinkbug

brown marmorated stink bug?
Could this stink bug be a brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys)? If it is, then it's a pest insect introduced from Asia. One of the distinguishing characteristics are light bands on the antennae as shown in the pic, and supposedly it was first found in this country in Allentown, PA.

yes
Richard, I'm sure you're right. I'm right in its range, and it matches several of the images I've found on the web. Great, another pretty insect in my garden identified as a pest ;-)
Thanks for the ID!
