The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (Halyomorpha halys) is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, native to China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian regions. The Brown Marmorated Stink Bug (BMSB) was accidentally introduced to the United States in 1998. It is currently spreading throughout most of eastern and western North America, with the highest concentrations found in the Mid-Atlantic region. The BMSB is proving to be a nuisance for homeowners and can be devastating for farmers. It is feeding on a variety of plants, including fruit trees, ornamentals, and some crops. It is also entering houses in large numbers on warm fall days in search of overwintering sites. Adults are about 17 mm long and are shades of brown on both the upper and lower body surfaces. They are shield-shaped and almost as wide as they are long. The BMSB has piercing-sucking mouthparts and is feeding on fruits, seeds, stems, and leaves. It can switch hosts throughout the season, moving from plants with early-ripening fruits to those with late-ripening fruits. Most stink bugs do not bite, sting, or spread disease. The most harm most stink bugs cause is the ill-smelling substance they release as a defense tactic or if accidentally crushed. A Brown Marmorated Stink Bug is being observed sitting on potatoes and leaves of clover in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 2, 2024.

The Emma field cricket (Teleogryllus emma) is a field cricket insect distributed in East Asia. In Korea, it follows a univoltine life cycle, where overwintered eggs hatch in early summer, nymphs develop until September, and adults reproduce and lay eggs in September and October. Species that inhabit the same areas tend to have different types of calling songs. Male crickets produce calling songs to attract females. The egg overwintering strategy has evolved several times independently. Male Emma field crickets exhibit a strong positive behavioral syndrome between activity and aggression. Male field crickets require an energy-rich diet for calling, while female Emma field crickets need a diet with a higher protein content for egg production. The Emma field cricket is edible and consumed globally. An Emma field cricket was observed sitting on dry leaves in a forest, camouflaged during World Forestry Day at Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on 21/03/2024. The United Nations General Assembly established World Forestry Day, also known as the International Day of Forests, celebrated on March 21st each year to highlight the significance of forests in our lives.
