| If Plants Could Talk: Fact Sheets: Brown Marmorated Stink Bug - A New Exotic Insect in New Jersey |
 | | Halyomorpha halys, sometimes also called the yellow-brown stink bug or East Asian stink bug, is native to Asia and is considered an important agricultural pest in Japan where it attacks soybeans and various tree crops. |
 | | This feeding results, in part, in the formation of small, necrotic areas on the outer surface of fruits and leaves of its hosts causing characteristic cat-facing injury in fruits such as apples and peaches. |
 | | In its native range, H. halys feeds on a variety of fruits and other host plants including apples, cherry, citrus, figs, mulberry, peach, pear, persimmon, and soybeans. |
