Commentary

Christy, thanks for your report. We've had numerous reports from people finding Brown Marmorated Stink Bugs in the Portland Metropolitan area - without a photo, there's no way to assure you that is what you have indeed found. I can only say it would not be uncommon for you to find these stink bugs. Thanks for your report!

Location

I have had a couple of these bugs get into my house. The last one I caught into a bottle and upon looking at pictures I've found on the Internet it looks like a Brown Marmorated Stink Bug.
