It is through accidental introduction that the Japanese beetle is here in the United States of America.

Specifically, the insect in question (Popillia japonica) comes from Japan. Experts consider the beetle's introduction as an accidental companion to a shipment of iris bulbs before 1912. The first recorded instance of the exotic pest's presence on American soil dates to 1916 at a New Jersey nursery near Riverton and to 1939 in a sight-seer's car arriving by ferry from Maine to Nova Scotia, Canada.

Maybe some Asian tucker brought them here and they escaped, and that is why the Tristate area smells bad.

Actually, the brown marmorated stink bugs (Halyomorphahalys) were accidentally introduced in Pennsylvania in 1998 or perhaps a couple years before that. More than likely, they came from China or Japan and hitched a ride here in packing crates.

We did have some native species such as the Acrosternum, Brochymena, Euschistus, and Podisus, as well as the Oebalus pugnax (rice stink bug). The way to tell the Halyomorpha halys from those are the white bands on the antennae, the black and white bands on the edge of the bug, and the protrusion of several of the abdominal segments from under the wings.

They were accidentally imported to the US in plants and other shipments from Japan, around the time of World War I (1914-1918).

They were first discovered in the US in New Jersey in 1916, and are now widespread, becoming serious pests for lawns, orchards, and gardens.

By being born there is the way in which the Japanese beetle got to Japan.

Specifically, scientists consider insect in question (Popillia japonica) native to Japan. Japanese beetles do not function as agricultural or horticultural pests in the Japanese archipelago since their life cycle is controlled by human intervention and natural enemies. For example, the Japanese raise Japanese beetles as pets, which are found among other domesticated animals in the archipelago's pet stores.

Japan is where the Japanese beetle comes from.

Specifically, experts consider the insect in question (Popillia japonica) among the archipelago's native fauna and flora. The Japanese do not necessarily have the same reaction to their beetle that people in the rest of the world do. Over time, the beetle is responsive to controlled behavior and range through domestication by humankind -- Japanese beetles can be purchased as pets -- and predation by natural enemies.
