Most are plant eaters (a few are predators). Farming areas can yield good numbers in crops like cabbage, cotton, etc. or in nearby roadside vegetation. Many species come to lights at night. Adult stink bugs of various species are active from spring through late fall. To keep them alive in the classroom, give the bugs well washed fresh green beans.

Stinkbugs typically feed on a variety of plants, including fruits, vegetables, and ornamental plants. They use their piercing mouthparts to suck out plant juices, which can lead to damage to crops. They are considered agricultural pests in many regions.

Baby stink bugs suck the sap from plants and crops. Other things like mustard, peaches, apples and berries also attract them.
