Are stinkbugs poisonous

Answer 1

Answer:No. Stinkbugs aren't poisonous. I caught one today, and I'm not dead.

Their stench is for self defense. For example: if a bird is after them, they'll release their stench and it will go away.

Answer:Actually, the eggs are protected in arsenic. There is a Chinese bird that is immune to the arsenic, enabling it to prey on stinkbugs. Also, you don't die from touching them. Arsenic is a poison that if you consume enough of it, you will die. In large amounts, it gets into the blood stream. In other words, don't eat stinkbugs. Answer:No. The Brown Marigold Stinkbug is actually not poisonous. There are other known species that may be poisonous, but they live in other countries.

Answer 2

Probably not poisonous, but certainly not tasty. I remember a nature documentary in which a spider moved quickly to eat an insect which stumbled into its web. Upon realizing that the insect was an "unappetizing" stinkbug, the spider let it go. Gary Larson had a cartoon with birds disappointed to find stinkbugs on their Pizza with the other insects they ordered, so it is presumed that birds do not like them either.
