I see these every year in our garden. Right now this one landed on one of our Hydrangea bush leaves, though we have a lot of Hedge Nettle in the gardens.

Stinkbug (not a very glamorous name!) on our window....
This stinkbug was lying upside-down like this inside the elevator of our apartment building. At first I thought he was dead, but once I flipped him over he started to move. Half an hour later he was nowhere to be seen.
Photographed along Picture Rock Trail. ID to species a bit tentative. The clear membrane (pale bit at rear of bug) should help pin the ID down, as well as some structural characters.
There are only a few species of Chlorochroa stinkbugs with a clear hemelytral membrane (the shiny bit to the rear). Say's and Uhler's are two of those species, but one thing that I found distinctive in the images on BugGuide is that only C granulosa has pale proximal segments to the antennae.
BugGuide does not give much info on this species, but it ranges from UT and CO n. to AB in their records
Pentatomidae is a family of insects belonging to the order Hemiptera, generally called shield bugs or stink bugs. Pentatomidae is the largest family in the superfamily Pentatomoidea, and contains around 900 genera and over 4700 species. As hemipterans, the pentatomids have piercing sucking mouthparts, and most are phytophagous, including several species which are severe pests on agricultural crops.
The name "Pentatomidae" is from the Greek pente meaning "five" and tomos meaning "section", and refers to the five segments of their antennae. Pentatomids are generally called "shield bugs" in English, or "stink bugs" in American English.

I found this brown Stink Bug in the family Pentatomidae of the Heteroptera, Hemiptera hiding in a Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia, Fagaceae) tree this morning - with raindrops. Here it is stretching its wings. It looks like it's about to fly away, but it walked away along the branch. It was both cloudy and breezy this morning, so this isn't the best photo even though I boosted my ISO setting. Still it shows the true bug's anatomy. The forewings are thick and hardened in the basal part (the corium) and membranous towards the tip. The hindwings are membranous throughout. When the wings are folded around the triangular scutellum, they form the characteristic "X" shape on the back of the bug. (San Marcos Pass, 10 December 2016)
(Post to the Insects in Flight group? Well it's thinking about being in flight!)
We didn't get any more rain today despite the 30% chance, but we are in some thick clouds right now so we might get some more. There are rumors of real rain later in the week. I hope it happens. I'm enjoying having some Oregon weather at home with all that the rain brings!
ah fuck you >.>
they used to nest in my room, you know whats better than that, how about them making their nest in my lego bin, they completely covered one of my lego bins with a stinkbug "slime" in other words a shit load of parts is about ruined, or very unlikely, but possible to salvage some.
they crawl all around my lego where ever it is and starve to death, eventually it gets to the point where they are crawling over their "brothers" bodies.
the worst part is the taste, yes i have eaten them on two occasions, once after getting Chinese take out, i get home open the carton and start eating, lo mien is brown, around the same color as a stinkbugs outer shell, it blended in, and well, i ate it, i swallowed it whole but that did not prevent it from "stinking" the inside of my mouth, they taste of that doesnt wash out with water, soda, food, useless, the best you can do is just wait it out, horrific.(not the restaurants fault at all, the stink bug entered at my house)
now the second time i ate one was far worse than the first, i went to sleep like any other night, i guess i must have slept with my mouth open because (im assuming here) one waddled on in crawled under my tongue, and either suffocated, or drowned in saliva. i wake, skip breakfast go to school all without feeling the stinkbug under my tongue, about 5-10 minutes into school it slips out and into my mouth, no spray this time as it was long dead, but under my tongue the underside of it was peeling and the taste was horrendous none the less, i swallowed it whole, but its leg caught to the back of my throat and ripped off, so i had this leg hanging there water, soda, food, and it stayed, all until the carbonation in one final soda got it off but still.
in summer they "boom" but usually keep outdoors, unlike in the spring and fall, i get about 10-20 in my room in summer, but 30-50 on my front porch,
Somers please tell me you dont have this accursed pestilence in the west
I just can't help taking pictures of these little stinkbugs. They are so pretty when they are just hatched. I know the terrors they will grow up to be though.

This is one of the predatory stink bugs. BugGuide remarks "seldom collected."
First Eastern shore and second MBP record overall.

My pet stinkbug, Sammy, who lived for a long time on the sink skirt in my bathroom, has gone to Stinkbug Heaven. I noticed he/she hadn't moved for a few days, and I got worried. So I touched him/her and he/she fell on the floor on his/her back, legs up. Dead. I will miss Sammy. He/she was pleasant company - quiet, unassuming, easy to talk to and always in a good mood. May he/she rest in peace.

This is looking up at a "Stink Bug" in the family Pentatomidae of the Heteroptera, Hemiptera trying to suck a seed pod of the Late-flowered Mariposa Lily aka Weed's Mariposa Lily (Calochortus fimbriatus or Calochortus weedii, Liliaceae). There are still seeds in the dry pods. It's a chance to remember the rather complicated parts of the bug's mouthparts. Going from left to right,
* first there is the labrum, a small piece of skin that covers the exposed part of the stylets before they are surrounded by the labium;
* then there are the thin dark stylets which contain food and salivary channels, but need support; and
* finally there is the segmented labium which looks like a little leg, and supports the stylets.
Put them all together, and they become the beak of the bug. (San Marcos Pass, 26 September 2016)
It was another hot day, and curiously it might have been hotter in town again. Time to get to the debate, though I have been listening.
I collected this anchor stink bug nymph as a 4th instar on 23 August 2018, at the Carroll County Extension Office, and the next day it molted. I caught a few photos as its new exoskeleton hardened.
I'm hoping to rear it to an adult, but it's proving a lot pickier about its prey than I expected. It's eaten a few mexican bean beetle larvae, but hasn't touched the Dimorphopteryx sawflies, clover worms, orangstriped oakworms, or clavate tortoise beetle larvae I've put in with it.
.
This was the first time I've seen a teneral S. anchorago before and I'm surprised that it's not dorsoventrally flattened like most other teneral nymphs. Instead, this species appears to become concave ventrally when starved, maintaining its overall globose body shape.
Ugh. Here is a header from Tripadvisor that Bedbugger brought to my attention:

If these bugs are biting you, since they are PLANT FEEDERS, I'd say you have reason to complain all right. Sheesh. Not all "bugs" are the same.
Looks like Striped Stink Bug (Graphosoma lineatum). Anyone want to confirm?

A very very variable in color (polymorphic) species in the stinkbug family from South America. I have a couple of other examples, but there seems to be no limit to the color variations this species has. How lovely and mysterious. Not sure what the research is on this thing, but it must be an interesting story. This is what you find when you dig around in the National Collection at the Smithsonian. Sadly all the specimens are old as there is little collecting going on these days.
