As far as things to drive you completely buggy go, trying to ID shield bugs is proving difficult to beat. Mostly because their isn't that much variety in their shape, and the problem only becomes worse when you're trying to ID them from Nymphs.

There were four different kinds on these she-oaks - I'm pretty sure the skinny ones were a different species to the big round ones, but then I suspect the three big round ones were different species too.

A quite unusual pattern to this one. Rancho Naturalista.

AKA Jade Stinkbug. Or if you wanna get all scientific about it, Banasa euchlora (thanks bugguide.net!)

Not quite a centimeter long and just as green as you see here.

Found in my bedroom after it fell off the light and onto my floor. It was such a nice color of green I couldn't resist a few photos, especially since it's been dreary outside the past few days.

An awkward angle, but it shows off the back nicely.

Likely green stinkbug, on spent ironweed.

Eucalyptus Tip Bugs cause wilting and other damage to gum tree shoots, but most trees will survive it.

Stink bug (Acanthosoma labiduroides)

Don't turn over some leaves

Though this bug flies or quickly hides oneself on the back side of the leaf as usual...it did not move at all.

This one was attracted to a lighted sheet.

I can't seem to escape the stinkbug invasion. This fellow followed me to Istanbul, Turkey!

I returned with hundreds of snapshots of my Turkey/Georgia trip. I only have a few artsy fartsy images, most of my images are just to record my vacation with snapshots. I hope to get them loaded before the holiday rush becomes a RUSH.

Found this one on the screen of the outside of a window in Flower Mound, Texas. My photos can also be found at kapturedbykala.com
