These bugs are becoming one of my favourite bugs so far. The shape, the colors, the patterns. Everything is so cool!
Ok, just when I thought they were ready to leave I still find myself face-to-face with stinkbugs before breakfast, this one on my desk this morning. Seems they're not the same ones most of us occasionally encountered as children, no, this particular type is introduced (no surprise) from the far east. We have to stop importing so much from China.

The strength of the Florida Predatory Stinkbug (and Assassin Bugs) always amazes me. The Stinkbug won.

known generally as the juniper stink bug or jade stinkbug, a welcomed change from the normally larger brown marmorated stink bug. These are a lovely green and yellow and are roughly half the size of their brown counterparts.

I have been disgusted by the invasion of stinkbugs this fall - but I had to admit that this one was beautiful -
At first it reminded me of a Samurai - then, since it's the day after Halloween, I thought it looked like a witch's face -
Pentatomidae, Greek pente meaning five and tomos meaning section, are a family of insects belonging to order Hemiptera including some of the stink bugs and shield bugs.
The scutellum body is typically half of an inch long, green or brown color, usually trapezoidal in shape, giving this family the name "shield bug".
The stink bug, also called stinkbug, derives its name from its tendency to eject a foul smelling glandular substance secreted from pores in the thorax when disturbed; in some species the liquid contains cyanide compounds with a rancid almond scent. This is a form of antipredator adaptation.
Many stink bugs and shield bugs are considered agricultural pest insects, because they can create large populations which feed on crops (damaging production), and they are resistant to many pesticides. They are a threat to cotton, corn, sorghum, soybeans, native and ornamental trees, shrubs, vines, weeds, and many cultivated crops.
However, some genera of Pentatomidae are considered highly beneficial: the anchor bug, which can be distinguished by the red-orange anchor shape on the adult, is one example. It is a predator of other insects, especially Mexican bean beetles, Japanese beetles, and other pest insects.
They also are commonly eaten in Laos, and are regarded as delicious due to their extremely strong odor. The insects are sometimes pounded together with spices and a seasoning to prepare cheo, a paste mixed with chilies and herbs.
Stink bug... or at least I think it is. There supposed to have five segmented antenna but this guy seems to be missing some.
The bugs are getting fewer as the season progresses and I'll image whatever I find. This Stinkbug was imaged on the side of the house in rural upstate Columbia County, NY, USA, on October 20, 2008. Camera: Canon 350D and Pre-AI Micro-Nikkor 55mm f3.5 lens and PK-3 1:1 tube and Samigon f-mount 3X teleconverter and Vivitar f-mount 2X teleconverter plus Fotodiox Nikon mount to Canon mount adapter ring, hand held and braced against the house, manually focused, manual mode, 1/200 sec, ISO 400, with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash.
I found a similar looking image in Bug Guide which was identified as Stinkbug Eggs. Could these be them? These eggs were imaged on August 13, 2008, on a Milkweed leaf along the side of the driveway leading to the parking lot in the Miles Audubon Center, Sharon, Ct, USA. Camera: Canon 350D and N/AI Vivitar Series 1 (version 1) 70-210mm f3.5 macro zoom lens and Vivitar 2X teleconverter plus Fotodiox Nikon mount to Canon mount adapter ring, hand held, manually focused, manual mode, 1/200 sec, ISO 400, with fill-in flash from camera's built-in electronic flash.
The "Jade Stinkbug", Banasa euchlora. I found this in my kitchen (a few come in every fall) and placed it on its hostplant, Eastern Redcedar, Juniperus virginiana, to show the cryptic effect. It was difficult to get a photo, because it kept crawling down into the needles.
