Waiting for the stinkbug to settle down while they prepare for takeoff.

Third of five.
This is a dusty Pinacate Beetle (genus Coelocnemis in the family Tenebrionidae, Coleoptera). The genus Eleodes is similar, but this one has two rows of fine, golden brown hairs on the lower half of the inside margin of the hind tibiae, which are barely visible in my photo. It's also known as a Stink Beetle or Stinkbug or Acrobat Beetle or Clown Beetle, but I prefer the old name. Wikipedia says that "the name pinacate is Mexican Spanish, derived from the Nahuatl (Aztec) name for the insect, pinacatl..." Kids like to torment these large beetles - don't let them! The beetles put their heads on the earth, think of them as wise. HBBBT! (San Marcos Pass, 31 May 2015)
This beetle is dusty because it was turned over on its back and had a hard time getting up. Sure, I helped it. These beetles are said to release a brew of noxious chemicals from their rear ends. I can't vouch for that.
Common Name: Stink Bug nymph
Order Name: Hemiptera
Family Name: Pentatomidae
Many Hemiptera suck plant juices although some have evolved to suck blood and body fluids. Hemiptera groups include water scorpions, water boatman, backswimmers, water striders, plant bugs, bed bugs, assassin bugs, flat bugs, seed bugs, red bugs and stink bugs.
Stink bugs can be recognized by their characteristic oval body shape and each antennae being comprised of five segments. This immature larval stage is considerably more colorful than the adult form which was almost entirely black. True bugs undergo a common form of incomplete metamorphosis with three life stages. The eggs hatches into nymphs which grows ever closer to the adult form through a series of body molts. The last molt renders the final adult form which is then free to reproduce and initiate the next generation. This nymph was quite adept at producing the characteristic foul smell for which they use as a chemical defense tactic.
Stink Bug
Tunney Hunsacker Bridge
New River Gorge National River
West Virginia
When walking across the bridge for a below view of the much larger New River Gorge bridge I noticed there were tons of little stink bugs. I hadn't even brought my camera, but I ran back to the car and grabbed my camera and my new 105 mm Sigma macro lens and had a little fun. I'm going to tell you what, I love that lens.
Here is a lovely gray Stink Bug in the family Pentatomidae of the Heteroptera, Hemiptera balanced (for the moment) on a couple of old berries of Wild Huckleberry (Vaccinium ovatum, Ericaceae). It's a nice pose, but it didn't last! This true bug has five-segment antennae unlike the four-segment antennae of the true bug in my [Previous] photo, hence the family name Penta-tomidae. This one might be the Consperse Stink Bug (Euschistus conspersus). There's more info and photos at BugGuide. I believe I've found this same species at home, compare this photo. (Near Susan Creek, North Umpqua River, Oregon, 29 August 2018)
Predatory Stinkbug nymph with pierced beetle victim, ready to suck the entrails from the prey. The stinkbug uses its strong beak, its proboscis to pierce the guts of its prey, injecting a venomous saliva that paralyzes the prey and liquefies its insides, which are then sucked out.

(Opuntia bigelovii)
It is so tiny. OPEN in "All sizes" to see more detail. These bugs are annoying my hibiscus plants a lot and cause mutant growth. Along with the shield bugs they cause many problems. There are over 330 000 insects in Australia and it is hard to identify them but I will try.
For another photo, even more macro of this bug open this:- www.flickr.com/photos/25747229@N00/356238417/
Spider outside my kitchen window; I think it's got a stinkbug wrapped up. If you know what kind of spider it is, I'd love to know!
This tiny nymph (3 mm, if that) was taken in a sweep net in a field. I think it a stinkbug, Pentatomidae, but that's as far as I'll guess.
There's a new sitcom coming to primetime, It's called, Wintering With The Stinks
The brown marmorated stink bug is an insect in the family Pentatomidae, native to China, Japan, and other Asian regions. In September 1998 it was collected in Allentown, Pennsylvania, where it is believed to have been accidentally introduced.

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, or 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.
Lighting:
Key: SB-600 bounced off white reflector behind and to camera-right.
Fill: Diffused SR-B200 at camera-left (high).
Both triggered wirelessly via Nikon D300s in Commander mode.
It took me a bout a half-hour to get the light right and get him into a good position.
the classic bug in a jar. While playing cards we noticed a stink bug walking across the ceiling directly above us. At one point it fell to the table and landed right next to me. We trapped it in a jar and gawked at it. Don't upset it or smush it because they sure do stink. We later set it free outside.
One of the most recognizable stink bug species in the eastern US, it's orange, black and white, with charmingly striped eggs. Nymphs could be confused for Chinavia nymphs, which can also be orange and black, but usually are also green.
Brassica specialist, but will feed on other plants. I found a lot of them on garlic mustard (Alliaria petiolata) this spring.
Top – Eggs
Center – 1st, 2nd, and 3rd instar
Bottom – 4th, 5th, and Adult
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 species, 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.

Stinkbug and Phiddipus - they both put up a good fight. I guess they were fairly evenly matched.

When: November, 2010
Settings: 1/160, f8, ISO 100, Ring Flash
Notes: Never realized they had so much going on. They have little red dots behind their eyes then 'eye' like shapes on their back behind their eyes also.
