Stink Bugs for Kids | Learn all about these smelly insects

What makes a stink bug a stink bug? This kids video explains some basic information you might not know about these insects. Stink bugs are small insects with shield-shaped bodies in different colors—brown, green, or gray. They have sucking mouth parts that they use to eat plant sap. Stink bugs can change their color slightly to blend in with their surroundings. This adaptation, known as cryptic coloration, helps them avoid being detected by predators.

These bugs also use their stinky smell as a defense mechanism. When they feel threatened, they release a strong, pungent odor from glands in their thorax. This smell helps protect them from predators like birds and lizards. You can find stink bugs in gardens, around farms, and even inside homes during the colder months. They like to feed on fruits, vegetables, and flowers.
