This yellow stink bug, Dendrocoris contaminatus, resembles the yellow flower buds of creosote (Larrea tridentata) on which it is found. See the BugGuide accounts for this genus and species for identification details--this species is restricted to creosote, whereas other members of the genus are found on pines and oaks. Length is 6-7 mm.

This was sitting pretty on the tree in the back yard. The colours on it are really pretty. Pity about the stick across the base of it but if I moved it, I wouldn't have got the insect.
I wasn't sure if it was in its last stages of molt.
You really need to see it full size to get the benefit of the colours.
Mom found a stinkbug INSIDE the plastic knob on her bathtub faucet.It looks squished here, but it's just distorted by the refraction of the plastic.The stinkbug invasion shows no signs of stopping here in December. Mom found 5 yesterday.
This was taken at our company outing at a day camp in central NJ. We discovered this little green stinkbug nymph (it didn't stink, thank goodness!) that had hitched a ride inside on someone's shirt, & so of course I had to get a shot of it. I released it back outside when I was done so it has a chance to grow up to be 2 cm long and look like this.
Me and C took an afternoon walk in Vrinneviskogen. It sure felt and looked like autumn. Slightly depressing. I should be used to it by now given the country I live in, but I'm not!
The brown marmorated stink bug. These little pests are running rampant in many areas on the east coast this year. Read all about them in my post here:

Family: Pentatomidae. Subfamily: Pentatominae. Tribe: Nezarini. Species: Chinavia hilaris (Say, 1832). (Salem, MA)
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)
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.
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.
