stinkbug. 2/23那天，和醫生走到我家附近的公車站牌時，看到了很多紅紅的蟲，我們想，這應該不是傳說中的紅火蟻，因為螞蟻就是螞蟻，不可能有這麼大隻的。後來我回家上網查資料，感覺這像是半翅目的椿象。今天電視新聞居然有報導，於是我查了一下新聞資料，果然，這是近來聚集在台灣欒樹下的紅姬緣椿象。

Persistent warm weather in Western Pennsylvania has caused an explosion of (invasive, introduced) stinkbugs this year. I'm just glad this one was on the outside of the screen.
