Depends on the species, depends on the location.

There have been stink bugs here for a long time, although the impact of European agriculture and urbanisation has altered their distribution significantly.

The plant they’re sitting on is an invasive weed, though. Sida Rhombifolia, AKA Paddy’s Lucerne.

Right in the middle of a kid’s playground. Now safely relocated into the bush.
