Brown Stink Bug

		The Brown Stink Bug sleeps through the winter under cover at the sides of fields. With the coming of spring, he begins to feast on the crops of the field. He feeds by sucking the juices out of the stems, leaves, and seeds of many cultivated plants. His work can cause the seeds and fruit to underdevelop or not to form at all. But be careful not to scare him for he lives up to his name, he can let out a nasty smell to defend himself.
