Lots of these yellow-spotted stink bugs (kimadara-kamemushi) on the trees in the park next to my children’s school. Although it is not native to Japan, it is very common in Fukuoka. It is listed on Australia’s Pests and Diseases Image Library (PaDIL and according to the PaDIL factsheet (here), this species, “is a major pest of pine trees and hardwood trees in Taiwan… [and] also a pest of pears in China.”

This dictyopharid planthopper (nakano-tengu-sukeba) was in our living room yesterday evening. The Japanese name includes “tengu” after the long-nosed mountain goblins (see here).

These stink bugs live up to their name. If you accidently squash one… well, they stink! They sometimes come into the house which is a bit of a nuisance. This species is also a pest of fruit trees (such as peach and plum).
According to the University of Florida Department of Entomology and Nematology (link here), the brown marmorated stink bug (kusagi-kamemushi) “is a recently introduced pest to the western hemisphere and … may become a major agricultural pest in North America.”
