What are Kudzu Bugs?
Square, mottled olive-brown true bugs. People think they are beetles. They are closer to stink bugs. Ladybug size.
Are they dangerous?
Not a health threat. They stain and smell if you smash them. Crop pest on kudzu and soybeans.
What causes them?
They pile on sunny siding in late fall looking for a winter void.
