The green stink bug's color is typically bright green, with narrow yellow, orange, or reddish edges. It is a large, shieldshaped bug with an elongate, oval form and a length between 13–18 mm. It is found in orchards, gardens, woodlands and crop fields throughout North America, feeding with their needlelike mouthparts on the juices of a wide variety of plants from May until the arrival of frost. Adults develop a preference for developing seeds and thus become crop pests (tomato, bean, pea, cotton, corn, soybean, eggplant). When no seeds are present, they also feed on stems and foliage, thus damaging several fruit trees, such as the apple, cherry, orange and peach trees. Moreover, it can be found in Queensland and New South Wales, Australia. Green stink bugs bored well on bonfire salvia as well as tomatoes and mulberry. Also it has been found on peaches, apricots, grapes, silver beet and french beans. The difference here is that they don't seem to be a pest for them. This green stink bug was capture in a almond orchard from Central California.
