This is a nickle-size Stink Bug in the family Pentatomidae of the Heteroptera, Hemiptera on a leaf of Wild Blackberry (Rubus ursinus, Rosaceae). This one has five-segment antennae unlike the four-segment antennae of the bug in this photo, hence the family name Penta-tomidae. There are many different kinds, but one possibility for its identity is the Consperse Stink Bug (Euschistus conspersus). It's curious that this one looks like the bug I found sitting in a seed capsule of native Late-flowered Mariposa Lily (Calochortus fimbriatus, Liliaceae), see this photo from last November. It seemed to be spending the winter in this seed pod, but along the way it changed color from brown to green, see this photo from February! Well, it either changed color or another one took its place. It finally disappeared a couple of weeks ago. (San Marcos Pass, 16 March 2019)
No, really...not a green stinkbug. It's green, and it's a stinkbug nymph, but when he grows up, he'll be a brown stinkbug, not a green. I like his little fluted-pie-crust back end.
Appears to be Parabrochymena arborea (synonym = Brochymena arborea). This and the very similar genus Brochymena are cryptic predatory stinkbugs found on vegetation, usually in woodlands. Length about 16 mm.
A stinkbug nymph, most likely Acrosternum hilare. I don't know what made the background all "peachy" like that because I was too busy trying (largely without success) to get this little dude to stay still, but I thought it looked kind of cool.
Yes, that is a pile of what you think it is on his back.

Despite my pointing out in 2009 that these are NOT bed bugs, they haven't updated their materials in 2011. These are Striped Stink Bug (Graphosoma lineatum), which is a plant feeding species. They are completely harmless--and would never show up in your bed, unless maybe you are potting plants as you sleep.

A stink bug I caught around my porch light. I took this with my 18-105mm VR lens with an Opteka +10 close-up filter. I brought it inside and put it on a white piece of paper. I used a tripod with daylight fluro lights overhead and a white LED flashlight above-right to case a little lateral shadow. Then I cropped the image down and used the "Enhance" feature in gThumb.
Interesting story with this one, lunching on a stink bug. Notice the tiny fly under its abdomen. This is a freeloader fly in the family Milichiidae, a kleptoparasite which feeds on prey of other insects. Of course, tiny as it is, it poses at most a minor annoyance, even when several gather. It's been shown that the "stink" of stinkbugs is a specific attractant for them.
Saw this touch down on my oak tree. Houston, Tx area. It's about 1.25 in. long.
ID Please...
***edit: Just found out it's a Stink Bug.
