This was one of the highlights of the day, it was quite a large shield bug and was a fantastic blue and red/orange in colour.
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.

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 looks like the same bug inside the same seed capsule a month ago before we went off to Oregon, see this photo! I can't guarantee that it's the same insect, but if it is I wonder it it will sit here all winter? 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 progresses. (San Marcos Pass, 8 December 2018)
Today was clear and beautiful, with a bit of breeze to keep it interesting. I'm still not feeling quite all there, but I'm getting out.
Quick grab with my iPhone on the tablecloth at dinner, thanks to al fresco dining. If I've got my ID right, this turns out to be the same guys we have in North America. They are believed to have originated from East Africa but are now cosmopolitan. They are a pest of leguminous crops, though seen here in the middle of a national park. The all-green ones are Nezara viridula f. smaragdula.

As you see the photo as I discovered live and dead stink bugs on March 14, 2011.. Stink bugs will INVADE your home!
A very distinctive shieldbug. Taken in the dunes at Kaminia Beach on Kefalonia, Greece. 11-06-05. Feeding on Sea Holly [Eryngium maritimum].
As the day draws to an end the clouds that have been threatening rain all day, finally deliver. Big fat raindrops cascade from the sky, impacting with the dry ground and parched flora . A lone Stinkbug looks for a safe place to shelter after a few behemoth raindrops smash into his carapace.
Trip photos are nice, but today's photos from home are always the best!
I found this handsome "Stink Bug" in the family Pentatomidae of the Heteroptera, Hemiptera perched on a leaf of native Wild Blackberry (Rubus ursinus, Rosaceae) this morning. It looks a lot like this photo of Banasa dimidiata at BugGuide. It's quite pretty, and it's neat how it has its left wing open showing the half-sclerotized front wing and fully membranous hind wing. This critter seems to have a wound on it's left shoulder, but it was gone when I came back after a couple of hours, so It's still getting around. (San Marcos Pass, 5 December 2015)
It was mostly cloudy today, and it feels a bit like rain. But it probably won't get down to us. Point Conception has been a real barrier to our small storms so far this year.
BWI Bike Trail - April 14, 2022 - submitted to BugGuide - my guess, it is not the Brown Marmorated Stinker

Stinkbugs
I have thousands of the "masked" one every autumn in my garden. They do no harm, but is very beautiful. They like to gather especially on old leaves under my linden treee.
I found this Rice Stinkbug as I was deadheading my flowers. It sat on the bloom, just hanging out, while I went inside, got the camera and came back outside. This species feeds on grasses, so I'm perfectly content to find it in my flowers, and it does have really cool-looking spikes on its bug-shoulders!
This poor stink bug (which I believe to be Poecilometis elongates) had a mite on its antennae. Tough life in a bug eat bug world. [Yungaburra, QLD, Australia]
BC residents, particularly those in the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley and Penticton area are being asked to support the Ministry of Agriculture’s surveillance efforts by being on the lookout for any brown marmorated stink bugs, (Halyomorpah halys) that may be seeking winter refuge inside homes and buildings.
