The
Green Soldier Stink Bug is an orchard pest that sucks juice from cherries,
peaches, nectarines, apples and pears, causing fruit drop or leaving corky
spots. They typically affect border trees as they feed on mullein and
bitterbrush outside
of orchards throughout the summer. They're called stink bugs because they
spray a stinky liquid when threatened or bugged. They also sing, or rather,
transmit vibrations through plants to attract a mate.
