With a clear & fairly warm morning here in OlyWA, a stink bug crawled up on a window screen to bask in the sunshine. I know that there is an exotic invasive pest species, the Marmorated Stink Bug, in the State, but had to go to the guide to assure myself that this is merely one of our native "stinkers" - Brochymena affinis

Having been so impressed with our first visit to the preserve on several days prior, we had to get back for a second look, knowing that we would most likely find some new insects, birds, and plants, for the first trip was rather overwhelming in the spectacular variety of nature’s gems. The follow up visits are usually ones where individuals can look at things with a better understanding, knowing where to look and what to avoid.
This wonderful nature preserve of both grassland (111 acres) and woodland (53 acres) was purchased in 2003 by Franklin Township, and has become a “MUST SEE” site for us, since the landscape is so perfect in attracting all kinds of grassland birds, insects, and plants, and the setting is one that is rather off the beaten path; therefore, it allows visitors to enjoy the beauty in a quiet state. The grassland reminds one of a miniature version of sections cut out from the Great Plaines States.
Relatively close to Duke Farms—about 13 miles away—it is not too far to make it a stop for a day excursion, even if combined with DF or other nearby wildlife refuges.

they're flying around everwhere and sticking to the windows and creeping through the doors and hiding under the grill cover...
gross gross stinkbugs
For my friends out west, this is what we, locally, call a stink bug. I know there's a different critter by that name on the left coast.
These little guys are quite harmless, but now that the weather is getting cooler, they're making themselves at home, in numbers, in our house.
It was walking around on my bedroom wall the other day, but I've seen them before. I have 3 free run house rabbits, so I hate when I find bugs in my house and can't identify them.
EDIT: It's a stink bug. Yuck.
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.

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.
