Brown marmorated stink bug

/in , /by

6806.        I am trying to identify a bug that I have been seeing in my home in Wisconsin. I have only see three so far and they seem to be in the same area. One on a chair, one on the table next to the chair, and one on the floor next to the chair. Looking at pictures in trying to figure out what it is, it looks the closest to stink bug. I don’t think it is a cockroach, but I am not sure. It is light brown in color, kind of flat, has antennas and looks like some black spots. West Allis, WI. United States

Number 6806. This is a brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys (Hemiptera/Heteroptera: Pentatomidae). This is an introduced species that has become a pest, primarily in orchards, in many areas of North America. They will come indoors in search for shelter, but do no harm there.
