Marmorated stink bugs have been found in many US states, wreaking havoc in the agri sector. The insect was first found in Pennsylvania and by 2021 it had been seen every state apart from Alaska, South Dakota and Wyoming. A study has even suggested their invasion could get worse.
The invasive species has severely impacted states on the east and west coasts, but areas of the Midwest. Central states between Montana and North Dakota and further south have “no evidence of established populations,” the US Department of Agriculture said.
