Got Stink Bugs?

If anyone in NC experiences mass home invasions of brown marmorated stink bugs (Halyomorpha halys) this season, please contact Matt Bertone or Jim Walgenbach at the NCSU Plant Disease and Insect Clinic with your information. Jim is looking to study these insects and needs to collect *lots* of overwintering specimens (which I am sure anyone with them will oblige enthusiastically).
