Answer:

The odor is caused by chemicals released from the bug's abdominal glands. Some species of stink bugs can spray these chemicals a few inches away from their body. These factors have led scientists to believe that the stink bug smell is their main defense mechanism against predators.

Stink bugs get their name from the unpleasant odor they produce when they are threatened. Scientists think this odor helps protect the bugs against predators.

The stink bugs produce the smelly chemical in a gland on their abdomen. Some species can actually spray the chemical several inches.

Hope it helps
