Gunma Prefecture is urging caution against pest stink bugs.

The prefecture has issued a warning for the entire prefecture by the 27th, as there has been a large outbreak of the German-winged green stink bug, a pest that sucks the juice from fruits such as peaches and plums. This is the first warning in two years, since July 2022.

According to the center, the German-winged green stink bug is 10 to 12 mm long and has wings that are a mixture of green and brown.
In a survey conducted in the middle of this month, the number of bugs captured at five locations in four cities and towns, Takasaki, Numata, Shibukawa, and Nakanojo, was two to nine times higher than average.
