The forewings of stink bugs are called hemelytra, with the basal half thickened while the apex is membranous (as are the hindwings). The stink bug derives its name from a pungent unpleasant odor from a glandular substance released from pores in the thorax when disturbed or crushed. The chemicals involved include aldehydes, making the smell somewhat similar to that of coriander. In some species, the liquid contains cyanide compounds and a rancid almond scent, used to protect themselves and discourage predators. The term 'stink bug' is also used for the

Stink bug populations rise because the climate in the United States is ideal for their reproduction. In optimal conditions, an adult stink bug can develop within 35 to 45 days after hatching. Female stink bugs are capable of laying 400 eggs in their lifetimes. The bug is also capable of producing at least one successful generation per year in all areas of the United States, no matter the climate. In warmer climates, multiple generations can occur

It is chiefly known for parasitizing "Halyomorpha halys" (brown marmorated stink bug). It deposits eggs into the eggs of the stink bug. As the wasp larvae develop, they kill the stink bug eggs. A single adult wasp emerges from each stink bug egg. "Trissolcus japonicus" was originally described by American entomologist William Harris Ashmead in 1904, and transferred to the genus "Trissolcus" in 1968.

However, the rice stink bug is easily distinguished from other stink bugs because of its narrower profile and lighter color than, for example, the brown marmorated stink bug. The rice stink bug is a significant pest of rice crops in the southern U.S., including Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Texas (the Rice Belt). This agricultural pest is known to attack cereal crops with small seeds, particularly wheat, sorghum, and rice. The insect also lives in wild grasses such as Johnson

When stink bugs feed on corn, they go through the husk before eating the kernels, hiding the damage until the husks are removed during harvesting. The same damage is seen in soybeans, as the stink bug goes through the seed pods to acquire the juices of the seeds. One visual cue of stink-bug damage to soybean crops is the "stay green" effect, where damaged soybean plants stay green late into season, while other plants in the field die off normally. One can usually tell that a field of

During courtship, the male emits pheromones and vibrational signals to communicate with a female, which replies with her own vibrational signals, as in all stink bugs. The insects use the signals to recognize and locate each other. Vibrational signals of this species are noted for their low frequency, and one male signal type is much longer than any other previously described signals in stink bugs, although the significance of this is not yet clear.

While harvesting the plant's juices, the stink bug injects saliva into the plant, creating a dimpling of the fruit's surface and rotting of the material underneath. The most common signs of stink bug damage are pitting and scarring of the fruit, leaf destruction, and a mealy texture to the harvested fruits and vegetables. In most case, the signs of stink bug damage makes the plant unsuitable for sale in the market, as the insides are usually rotten. In field crops such as corn and soybeans, the damage

This species is not currently present in the U.S., but is undergoing study for possible introduction. The major problem with this idea is the possibility that "T. japonicus" will also become an invasive species with no native predators. Before introducing the Chinese wasp, scientists are trying to find natural predators of the stink bug already present in the United States. To do so, they have studied other species of parasitoid wasps native to the United States. They

In 1863, Swedish entomologist Carl Stål described the species as "Oncoscelis sulciventris" from a collection near Moreton Bay in Queensland. In 1957, English entomologists Dennis Leston and G.G.E.

They feed on a wide array of plants including apples, apricots, Asian pears, cherries, corn, grapes, lima beans, peaches, peppers, tomatoes, and soybeans. This makes them extremely versatile, as they do not require a specific plant on which to feed. To obtain their food, stink bugs use their stylets to pierce the plant tissue to extract the plant fluids. In doing so, the plant loses necessary fluids, which can lead to deformation of seeds, destruction of seeds,

Non-food crop hosts of the rice stink bug include: "Echinochloa crusgalli, Echinochloa colona, Digitaria sanguinalis, Panicum dicotomiflorum, Phalaris minor, Paspalum urvillei", and "Sporobolus poiretti"; the last two are the most common species that the bug prefers.

The most common one has three parallel white spots on the scutellum ("Nezara viridula" f. "smaragdula"), and the third has white or yellowish front margins on the head and the thorax ("Nezara viridula" f.

The bug, while harmless to houseplants and people, often enters houses. It is attracted to white surfaces such as the walls of houses or white vehicles, because of the high reflectance of the white surfaces as it relates to the bugs' simple eyes. As a defense mechanism, they emit a foul-smelling pheromone that also acts as a congregation pheromone. Aside

Both, nymphs and adults of some species, such as "Dulichius inflatus" and "Hyalymenus" spp. are ant mimics and live in ant nests. These bugs mainly inhabit fairly arid and sandy habitat, like seashores, heathland, steppe and savannas. Their main food is

It is Hawaii's largest endemic true bug. The exoskeletons of Koa bugs contain many different iridescent colours. The eggs hatch approximately 9 days after being laid. They are only a few millimetres wide, and are laid in a tight cluster. They are green in colour at first, and then turn red

They may grow up to long, and are camouflaged in shades of green and brown. Like many so-called "stink bugs", they may release unpleasant odours when disturbed.

However, with older nymphs, females were much less effective in their defensive behaviour and often died before the end of maternal care.

Scientists carefully analyze the scents to match what they are supposed to smell like. Another important factor in the scents is the emission of cyclohexanone and toluene. Though the chemicals are naturally toxic, MEG is careful to use them at levels much lower than established permissible exposure limits, so they are safe. They make the

As with other assassin bugs, its proboscis arises from the anterior end of its long, tubular head and unfolds forward when feeding. It possesses two scent glands (red-orange in color) that can be ejected from its abdomen, usually in reaction to being disturbed. The scent produced by it is not as powerful as that produced by the stink bug, but is still strong enough to be detected by humans. Wheel bugs exhibit armored forewings and membranous hind wings which allow the wheel bug to take flight. As a result of

An unpleasant odor can also be described as "reeking" or called a "malodor", "stench", "pong", or "stink". The perception of odors, or sense of smell, is mediated by the olfactory nerve.

There are millions of olfactory receptor neurons that act as sensory signaling cells. Each neuron

Another issue is the operating temperature, on which the compound's volatility strongly depends. Care should be taken as some compounds are toxic either in higher concentration or after prolonged exposure in low concentration.
