Stink bugs surge to 20 times normal levels in Japan
Original: カメムシ
Japan is seeing a massive outbreak of stink bugs, with numbers reported at around 20 times the usual level. Experts link the surge to this year's extreme summer heat, and point to the abundance of hinoki cypress cones as a key factor behind the population boom. The bugs are known to invade homes in autumn as they seek shelter for winter.
Why now: An unusual 20-fold spike in stink bugs, tied to record heat, is prompting concern about home invasions as autumn sets in.
