Stink bug

In most of NY the Brown Marmorated Stink Bug doesn't seem to be much of a pest yet. Researchers at Cornell's Hudson Valley Lab would like to map its occurrence and spread in NY and they are asking folks in NY to either email a good pic of a suspected BMSB or ship the actual insect to them for a positive ID (the bug need not be alive, just not smushed beyond recognition, lol). There is a map of confirmed 2010 and 2011 sightings and an address where a pic can be emailed or a captured specimen sent for positive ID at http://hudsonvf.cce.cornell.edu/bmsb1.html

There are also good pics of some look-alike stinkbugs with comments on how to distinguish them from a BMSB at http://hudsonvf.cce.cornell.edu/scou...all%202011.pdf
