The barrel-shaped eggs of Say's stink bug are typically found underneath leaves. This location provides a protective environment for the eggs, shielding them from various environmental factors and potential predators. Placing their eggs under leaves allows the developing nymphs access to food sources once they hatch, as they are closely associated with the vegetation they feed on. The underside of leaves is generally more protected from sunlight and rain, enhancing the chances of survival for the eggs until they hatch into the next stage of their life cycle.
