The first documented specimen was collected in Allentown, Pennsylvania, in September 1998." ...Wikipedia.
A few years ago they were in our area in biblical numbers. Now it's populations seems to have declined a bit

The Everest of all dandelions...this is a shield bug or otherwise known stinkbug, they come in many colours and to me look like something from an egyptian tomb! Difficult shot as i was out in the fields with no tripod and breeze!! :(
I was enjoying an evening on the porch watching this bluebird feeding the fledglings when I noticed he was bringing them stink bugs (the invasive kind).
Cool to see our native species adapting to eat the invaders!
The invasive Brown Marmorated Stinkbugs have recently been launching an assault on my dad's windows, so when I came upon this scenario under the porch stairs the other night, I cheered for the spider. It didn't seem repulsed by the bug, and you can see it was maneuvering silk around in an attempt to ensnare it further.

Yuck! Interesting to look at, especially his underside on a window, but I am no fan of stinkbugs. Birch shield bug Elasmostethus interstinctus
One year we had them so bad, they would get inside of our clothes and if you didn't realize, and get them out, they would even bite. HARD! Then you smash them and they STINK!
We seem to have more robins this year than usual, maybe they will keep the stinkbugs in check....
Stink bug nymphs are usually adorned with colorful markings, which makes them far more interesting for photos than mature stink bugs. This one was completely oblivious to me and much more concerned with its lunch - some sort of larvae, but not sure what...I'm guessing a moth.
Photographed with a Canon 80D, 100mm 2.8 macro L, and a diffused Yongnuo YN560. I may have had a Raynox 250 attached as well, but Im not sure.
