They're back! And in a very big way - stink bugs
"I don't want to be an alarmist," says Michael Raupp, professor of entomology at the University of Maryland and the scientist behind the blog, "Bug of the Week."
"But the numbers are going to be through the roof. And a lot of homeowners are going to be screaming."
The brown marmorated stink bug looks like a small brown shield with legs and antennae. Raupp thinks the term "marmorated" comes from a Latin word meaning "marbled," a reference to the coloring on their abdomens. Each female can lay 400 eggs.
