Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) was collected in the High Tunnel on the raspberry plants and identified by our Entomologist Dr. Maciej Pszczolkowski.  The BMSB is native to East Asian and was introduced to the US in 1996. It has since been identified as a potential risk to agriculture and a nuisance to homeowners. BMSB feeds on a wide range of fruits, vegetables and other plants. The feeding usually begins in May-June and causes distortions of the fruit.  Offspring produced during the summer survive by overwintering as adults in structures.  As raspberry harvest is still going strong, we will continue to monitor and collect BMSB.
