Family Pentatomidae

stink bugs

These predate on the fruits and leaves of many plants, and are easily hand-picked and destroyed. Dill and fennel may attract Telenomus wasps and other insects that predate on stink bugs. Note however that some members of this family, including the spined soldier bug, are extremely helpful as beneficials, and should not be destroyed.
