Stink bug nymph on a ceanothus leaf.

Actually a Long Island stink bug. Don't step on it if you don't want to know why!

I thought this gal looked kinda funny standing up in the thistle like that.

Green Stinkbug with eggs

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.

Very similar to Ocirrhoe unimaculata, but lacking the pale dot that species has in the middle of the back. Might just be a colour form.

Sometimes the names don't make sense. This one does.

Damn stink bug, you can't come in!

And if you do, I will zap you with my electric racket!

Stinkbug Larva

This was the smaller and presumably younger stage.

Sometimes the names don't make sense. This one does.

As the name suggests, these bugs release foul smell when threatened. They are plant feeders.

Ecological Role: They can damage crops and thus are considered agricultural pests. Food source for other animals including humans.
