i would not mind pesticide free produce and a little discolouration/hole-making in my fruit, actually. but the problem is invasion of these insects- like the japanese beetle! there are natural agents to use like soaps, eucalyptus, and other essential oils for garden pests/ stink bugs on a smaller scale. stink bugs are not poisonous to you or your pet, by the way.

i saw japanese beetles galore gardening in the midwest. here are some interesting bug facts, like how long cockroach can go without food. i love a preying mantis, especially when they see you and turn their head to look right at you.
