Factors Influencing Behavior of Overwintering Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs (Halyomorpha halys) in Human Dwellings
The brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) (Stål) is known for overwintering in human homes. Studies were conducted to understand the behavior of adult bugs in response to characteristics of potential overwintering structures including gap sizes, light, and presence of dead conspecifics. In …
