Genus Poecilocapsus is a group of phytophagous insects that are commonly known as stink bugs. These bugs release a pungent odor when threatened, which makes them a nuisance for homeowners who find them in their gardens or homes. Synonyms for the Genus Poecilocapsus include shield bugs, Pentatomidae, green stink bugs, and brown marmorated stink bugs. These insects can cause serious damage to crops by feeding on the sap, and controlling their population is crucial for farmers and growers. Various methods, such as natural predators, insecticides, and pheromone traps, are used to manage stink bugs and protect crops from their destructive feeding habits.
