Stinkbug Invasion

This is the most beautiful bug that has visited my desk in quite a while and, just for the record, he (or she) did not stink up the place.

Little stinker

This is the most beautiful bug that has visited my desk in quite a while and, just for the record, he (or she) did not stink up the place.

These are all what are commonly called "stink bugs". They only

I love the fact that he's missing half of one of his back legs.....

They were hatching on the back of a lettuce leaf.

It was on my 2nd fl window so I wasn't about to open it to see what kind it was.

Matsui momentarily reacts to a kissy-sound while trying to hunt a stinkbug that was stuck inside the shade of the floorlamp behind the couch. With those kinds of failures of attention span, she'll never win first place in the Great Stinkbug Hunt.

Look at all those eggs! Oh, the 529b it would take. Another fine sighting by Frankie.
