Midwest Stink Bug Assistant - Identify common stink bugs found in agricultural ecosystems and residential areas of Minnesota and the upper Midwest, US

        Midwest Stink Bug Assistant is designed for use by university researchers, Extension specialists, county agents, consultants, agronomists, and growers who need to identify stink bugs collected in agricultural and residential settings. Images for most species include eggs, nymphs, and adults. Key characteristics of each species are highlighted to allow the user to easily identify a specimen in hand. Common names in parentheses indicate that no official common name has been adopted by the Entomological Society of America (ESA). The app was developed by the University of Georgia Center for Invasive Species and Ecosystem Health and the Department of Entomology, within the College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, in collaboration with the Department of Entomology, University of Minnesota, with funding from the Minnesota Invasive Terrestrial Plants and Pests Center, the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund, and the University of Minnesota Extension IPM Program.
