I had posted a cropped version of this image some time ago, but was working on it for the "Bugs of the Eno River" calendar and decided I liked the less cropped version better.
This is eating early instar caterpillars of the Milkweed Tussock moth, Euchaetes egle.

This is a little Stink Bug (Pentatomidae) on an stem of Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia, Fagaceae) in the woods today. HBBBT! (San Marcos Pass, 21 September 2023)
body size: 2X1.5 cm (roughly)
Erthesina fullo:Because the stinkbug will secrete the special smell to drive away the natural enemy, there is call of ' the bedbug ', though call is not very pleasant, their life is quite interesting! Take macula lutea stinkbug as an example, the female stinkbug often gives birth to 12 ovums, the little stinkbug that just hatched out once, still assemble together.
黃斑椿象（學名：Erthesina fullo），又名黃斑椿、麻皮蝽，中小型的樁象，體長約1.5～2.5公分，身體呈灰黑色，散佈著黃色斑紋，體內含有臭腺，會發出惡臭。春夏季為繁殖期，常可在樹葉上看到椿象一顆顆排列整齊淡黃綠色的蟲卵。生活環境為平地或低海拔地區。
Look closely at the stinkbugs in your house...there is a great deal of beauty there. Halyomorpha halys
Pentatomoidea is a superfamily of insects in the Heteroptera suborder of the Hemiptera order, which 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.

aka a 'Stink Bug'
I mostly see green ones in my garden, BUT this is the first one of this type that I have seen.
According to my RSPB 'Wildlife' book, it is deffo a Shield/Stink bug, and it looks most like a PENTATOMA RUFIES, the 'Forest Bug', but it might be something else?
Update - Confirmed as a 'Forest Bug' on 'SEEK' - my new app on my phone, except that the Latin name is given as Pentatoma RUFIPES, which is slightly different to the RSPB book. However, I will be happy with 'Shield Bug'!!!
Went out on a hunt for butterflies, came across this little chap who took offence to the paparazzi and disappeared almost immediately into the long grass.

Here is another photo of the beautiful "stink bug" that I show in my [Previous] photo - without the raindrops. I believe it is species Banasa dimidiata in the family Pentatomidae of the Heteroptera, Hemiptera. I got this photo in the afternoon when I got back from my walk today. The bug is on the same new leaflet of native Wild Sweetpea (Lathyrus vestitus, Fabaceae) where it was in the morning, though it has come out from under it. These bugs look almost too pretty to be native, but apparently they are. I've seen one before, see this photo from December 2015. (San Marcos Pass, 4 February 2019)
Rain, rain, rain! We've had another two inches of rain since yesterday at this time, bringing our total for the water-year up to 31.55 inches - getting close to our 33.85 inch average total for the year. Now it's turning cold, and we had some hail a short time ago. Showers are expected to continue through Wednesday morning, and now we're under a NWS Winter Weather Advisory with a chance of snow tomorrow evening. Hah, I'll believe it when I see it.
Ben's homemade costume scored big this Halloween in our neighborhood, which was innundated by stink bugs earlier this summer.
He learned an important lesson tonight: Creativity translates to handfuls of extra candy. They have unknowingly created a monster.
If you get a close look at a brown marmorated stinkbug, they really are beautiful.Look at all those green spangles, the ruby red jewel of the compound eye, the yellow spots on its first "shoulder"...

I found this little Stink Bug (Pentatomidae, Heteroptera, Hemiptera) inside a seed capsule of native Late-flowered Mariposa Lily (Calochortus fimbriatus) in the Liliaceae plant family today. What's remarkable is that I found what is maybe the same bug inside the same seed capsule in December, see this photo - and again November, see this photo! Now it does look quite different now, green instead of tan. My first thought was that it is teneral - just done with a molt - but I don't believe adult insects ever molt, so I can't explain the color change. I also can't guarantee that it's the same insect in all three photos, but it does look like a secure place to snuggle in for the long haul, with a food source right below in the form of seeds. Hah - like a dragon sitting on its hoard! One possibility for its identity is the Consperse Stink Bug (Euschistus conspersus). I'll check back on it again as winter continues.

views from inside the pavilion, which was used by Jefferson as a retreat
lots of stinkbugs were enjoying the view too
I'm needing a pretty sky picture after the last couple of days
I want to thank everyone for all the well wishes. We were VERY LUCKY & made it through the storm just fine at our house with no loss of electric or cable. Had some minor water in the basemant that the wet vac took care of. Unfortunately, that is not the case in so many areas around here and everywhere the storm hit. I could not believe what I was seeing from NYC last night. Hope all of you are safe that were/are in the path of Sandy. Going to take the dog for a walk soon & check out the neighborhood.
