I was in the backyard taking pictures of some bags and noticed all these flying bugs. Like, lots of them coming from over by he compost pile in the corner. I look over and see hundreds of these little, moths? I'm not sure what they are, but it was pretty cool.
Pentatomoidea is a superfamily of insects in the Heteroptera suborder of the Hemiptera order and, as such, share a common arrangement of sucking mouthparts.[1] They are commonly referred to as shield bugs or stink bugs. Shield bugs have glands in their thorax between the first and second pair of legs which produce a foul smelling liquid. This liquid is used defensively to deter potential predators and is sometimes released when the bugs are handled carelessly. The distinctive smell comes from aldehydes such as CH3–(CH2)2–CH=CH–CHO.
The nymphs, similar to adults except smaller and without wings, also have stink glands.
The nymphs and adults have piercing mouthparts which most use to suck sap from plants, although some eat other insects. When they group in large numbers they can become significant pests.
Other species that resemble Pentatomoidea insects are found in the Coreoidea superfamily.
Stinkbugs normally appear during the spring and summer months.

Here's a picture that shows the trajectories of the bugs - pretty neat. They werent moths, looked more like termites - oversized ant like body, with transparent wings.
This was taken in my mother-in-law's front yard. I have no idea what kind of bug this is but thought it was interesting. He looks as though he's posing for the shot.
Really weird looking one I found. I think it's one of those that all the hairs will stick you and it really hurts and swells up.
An old sieve filled with grass, moss, acorns and other such organic waste. I saw this on the TV recently so decided to copy it.
some little computer bugs. The motherboard is dead dead deady dead. It's been dead and I saved it from silicon heaven to be a display piece in my photos. Yes the bugs are magnets
