Friday afternoon I was battling stinkbugs - they often seem to show up in the afternoons - I suspect when the afternoon sun warms up the walls -
I was shooting them with a spray bottle of Dawn detergent - I stopped to take a picture of this one, and it flew away -

Brown marmorated stink bugs have been growing in number and spreading across Ohio since 2007.
“Those stink bugs will probably be a yearly occurrence from now on,” said Ron Hammond, an entomologist with Ohio State University Extension in Wooster.
The invasive species was first identified in Allentown, Pa., in 1998, but researchers think it had been around for at least a couple of years before that. The bugs have since been found in 33 states.
Like other invaders, stink bugs probably hitched a ride to the United States in containers shipped from Asia. The pests pose a threat to crops in Ohio and other states. That’s why Hammond and Chris Bergh, a University of West Virginia entomologist, study them.
Adult stink bugs emerge in June. They mate and lay eggs through August.
Right about now, stink bugs want a warm place to wait out the winter. That’s why central Ohioans are finding them in and around their homes.

This time of year, the brown marmorated stink bug is in the middle of its 10- to 12-week trek from fields to the warmth of houses and other structures, and this year, they seem increasingly numerous.

A stink bug on a potted pepper plant. I was jostling this plant all around as I watered it, but the bug remained calm.
The Stinkbug or Pinacate beetle has a defensive way of protecting itself. It stands on its head and squirts out a noxious spray from the rear, earning the nickname, Stinkbug. Pinacate is Aztec for black beetle. I'm lucky this guy didn't mind me getting this close to him!

The brown marmaladed stinkbug has long been used in the preparation of exquisite marmalades in China. As such, they are uniquely suited for the preparation of marmalade from mandarin. Now imported to the eastern United States, this delicate creature has become the toast of the gourmet breakfast table at Denny's and Howard Johnson's restaurants all along the eastern seaboard, and all halys is breaking loose...
Yucca filamentosa
Stink bugs seem to especially like this plant, they are all over it! (Click on the photo to enlarge it.). It gets its species name from the threadlike filaments along the leaf margins.
This is an invasive species, the Brown Marmorated Stinkbug.

Brown Marmorated Stinkbug, as it's politely known. We've seen five now, four in our office building and one in the window frame of our apartment! However, this is the first live one, and it was a bit dozy, after Lucy rudely woke it up from hibernation for me. It's about time it woke up, anyway!
This is probably the best known of the Chinese shieldbugs, due to being an invasive pest in the USA. There are loads of photos on Flickr, for example. It's obvioulsy pretty abundant around here as well, though! Will aim for a more photogenic setting than my laptop when they start emerging outdoors...
I found this little critter on my way into my home one day, crawling along my doorframe. It was an interesting sight to find after a long work day.
SB finds a stinkbug. 'Let's look at it mum!'
'we are looking at it'
'But let's look at it mum! Let's follow it!'
'Okay but he doesn't move much.'
'Let's LOOK AT IT MUMMMMM'\
SB talks to a nearby family, proudly pointing me out 'that's MY MUM. I bet-etter go see her.' He runs over, kisses me on the lips and says 'I love you mum'.
These bugs seem to have an affinity for my sunflowers.
I am awaiting an ID from BugGuide.net from Iowa State University.
Just this morning I took down the remainder of my sunflowers. I hated to see them go but they were looking very tired and gnarly.

Nezara viridula
Before becoming an solid-green adult, the bug goes through five nymph stages (called instars), each differently beautiful. Pictured here is the third instar on the upper right and the fifth instar on the lower left.
They feed on cruciform plants including cabbage, broccoli, and radish. These are on a Wild Radish. They feed by sucking juices from the leaf and this leaf is just about dead.

Yellow, green and blue shield bug. ID appreciated. I wonder if it's Brazilian . Selangor, Malaysia.

I felt what I thought was a mosquito biting my lower leg and looked down to see this bug much to my surprise. It's quite a bit larger than a mosquito. I quickly swept it off my leg and it hung around for me to get this photo. Looks like some kind of shield bug.
I happened to spot these babies on a leaf....I thought they might be ladybeetles....but I have been informed they are stinkbugs!

Sorry that is a little blurry. It was tough to get a good angle.
Collected 11 July 2017 in a wheat field at the Western Maryland Research and Education Center, Keedysville, Maryland.
This is only the second time I've encountered this speices, so I was very excited to photograph it! This is also a new state record for BugGuide, so I posted the pictures there too. I'm really hoping she's mated and will lay eggs.
