We had some high brown marmorated stink bug catches in Petersburg’s black light trap (average of 6.6 BMSB per night). Other locations had either zero BMSB (Southampton, Prince George, Isle of Wight, and Suffolk) or 0.1 BMSB per night (Warsaw). Thanks to the following for their report: Chris Drake (Southampton), Mark Kraemer (Petersburg), Scott Reiter (Prince George), Mary Beahm (Warsaw), Janet Spencer (Isle of Wight), and Ames Herbert and crew (Suffolk).
