This is a Stink Bug in the family Pentatomidae among the dry seed capsules of native Bird's Beak (Cordylanthus rigidus, Orobanchaceae) in the woods yesterday. The family name is a reference to the five-segmented antennae. These insects comprise one of the largest families of true bugs with hundreds of different species in North America alone, so I won't try to guess which one it is. I also saw a late-stage nymph nearby in the same plant. (San Marcos Pass, 20 November 2020)
Yes I do have a thing for stinkbugs. They initially scared me immensely with their sheer width and booming flight noise. I have come to appreciate them more now, and find them to be actually quite beautiful bugs.

Completing my March trilogy of Shieldbug finds for Lockdown 2021 was this nice adult Green Shieldbug sunning itself on a wall below a conifer tree.
A species I’ve now found three years in a row but by far the earliest I’ve found in the year and my first in the Newcastle Great Park. Next picture left in my photo stream shows the winter colours of an adult also found today.

This goldenrod had some scarce shieldbugs, ambush bugs, and tiny flies. All survivors of the previous night's freeze. HBBBT everyone!
In nature, life is dangerous since the very beginning. The stinkbug (Hemiptera) nymphs inside these beautiful pink eggs have barely started to develop, but they have already been found by a powerful natural enemy: This tiny wasp (Hymenoptera). This is an egg parasitoid, which means it lays its own eggs inside those of other, bigger insects (exactly what it is doing now). The wasp larvae will feed on the content of the pink eggs, and, in the end, what will hatch from them are wasps, not stinkbugs. All the drama of the natural world can be observed in our own gardens.
Na natureza, a vida é perigosa desde o começo. As ninfas (imaturos) de maria-fedida dentro desses belos ovos rosados mal começaram a se desenvolver, mas já foram encontradas por um inimigo natural poderoso: Essa minúscula vespa. Ela é um parasitoide de ovos, o que significa que põe seus próprios ovos dentro dos de outros insetos (exatamente o que está fazendo na foto). As larvas dessa vespa vão se alimentar do conteúdo dos ovos rosados, e, no fim, o que vai eclodir deles são vespas, e não marias-fedidas. Todo o drama do mundo natural pode ser visto em nosso próprio jardim!

Who knew stink bugs could be so beautiful? The orange on this particular one looks like orange peel!
I was waiting for some little stink bugs to hatch but then this parasitic wasp came out of one of the eggs.
The female wasps lay eggs inside clusters of stink bug eggs. After a wasp egg hatches, the larva eats the stink bug egg host, killing it in the process and then bursting out as an adult wasp.
Found them in my garden in The Netherlands.
