Stinkbugs weren`t around when I was a kid.

We all know about stinkbugs, more specifically brown marmorated stink bugs.

They are in the order hemiptera and the family pentatomidae... and I remember that from Mr. Zerbe`s class.
The thing is, when I took that class, stinkbugs weren`t a thing. At least not here. They are from Asia.

The first stinkbugs were found in North America in Allentown, Pennsylvania back in `98. They were included
with cargo from a place we get all kinds gross things we`d rather not have to deal with - China.

So ever since, we`ve been squishing these bugs in our homes, especially during winter. If you don`t
remember stinkbugs from your childhood, that`s why.
