Title: Western Conifer Seed Bug
Summary: The Western Conifer Seed Bug (WCSB) is an intimidating-looking insect that moves
into homes in late fall to take shelter. Although it does not bite or sting, as a member of
the stink bug family, it often releases an offensive odor when handled — part of the
insect’s defensive strategy. In flight, the adults make a buzzing sound like a bumblebee.
