Been here 6 years and have never seen them before now. We have a infestation of them..all over the outside of our house, patio furn, windows etc. They almost look like black ladybugs....we have millions of them here. Do they go away at first frost/when kidzu dies? Why are we only seeing them this year?
Started Wed. or Thurs.

Any input? (Not even sure if that is the official name of them?)

Looks like they will sneak into any dwelling/coop up area, to try and survive winter...similar to lady bugs.
No kudzu up here at 5,000 ft elevation, and I admit I have never seen this insect around our joint.

Arrgggg... the stink bugs have been showing up more and more from one direction and it looks like the Kudzu bugs will be here by the latest next year from another. I really don't want my plants to suffer but we really need some really cold winter days to help cut back on some of the insect life.

Thanks for the heads up with the latest on them.

Stink bugs were down this year. Maybe the drought got them, or maybe something is eating them. Hoorah.

That's gruesome!

Beats cucarachas, though.
