Stink bug nymphs are usually adorned with colorful markings, which makes them far more interesting for photos than mature stink bugs. This one was completely oblivious to me and much more concerned with its lunch - some sort of larvae, but not sure what...I'm guessing a moth.
Photographed with a Canon 80D, 100mm 2.8 macro L, and a diffused Yongnuo YN560. I may have had a Raynox 250 attached as well, but Im not sure.
Joking of course...but what a gorgeous Stinkbug! Just emerged from its exuvia.....I wonder how long it takes to gain color?

Brochymena nymph Stinkbug (and a few Whiteflies.......)

This little guy (about 1/3 inch , 5mm) appeared to be a consistent soft grey, but other colors were visible with a closer look...

Shot under harsh sunlight, I added a little fill flash(handheld 430EX on camera's right) to lift the shadows.
Really loving the 7D's wireless flash commander function :)
I wanted to link a picture of my first Front Page, but somehow it doesn't work. Anyway, thanks so much for viewing my stream and leaving comments. Really appreciate it :D
Shield bugs, also known as stink bugs, are a common sight in British gardens, parks, and countryside. They are characterised by their flat, often triangular bodies and distinctive, shield-like shapes.
So many little Stinkbugs entering the world. They are adorable at this stage. Not so much when I find them in my house :)
Every day for a couple of weeks this summer, I dumped stink bugs (Elasmostethus interstinctus) out of the rain gauge, rather than rain. Sometimes up to a dozen.
Ugh. They give off a skunky, rotten smell from repugnatorial glands when they feel threatened. Perfect word, 'repugnatorial.'
It's a wise gardener who knows what's eating the plants. Our Buttonbush, blooming or not, attracts a wide array of insects. This year, Green Stinkbug Nymphs are enjoying the leaves. Despite being agricultural pests, they make interesting macro subjects. I try to let all creatures "Live and Let Live" in the garden - that is UNTIL they begin devouring everything in sight.
This is a Elasmucha grisea (Parent Bug) nymph (5th instar). One of the most beautiful bugs I've come across.

A common visitor year round in Michigan. You can even see the little red photoreceptor eyes on it's head (ocelli) !
Pentatomoidea is a superfamily of insects in the Heteroptera suborder of the Hemiptera order, which are commonly referred to as shield bugs or stink bugs. Shield bugs have glands in their thorax between the first and second pair of legs which produce a foul smelling liquid. This liquid is used defensively to deter potential predators and is sometimes released when the bugs are handled carelessly. The distinctive smell comes from aldehydes such as CH3–(CH2)2–CH=CH–CHO.
Stinkbugs normally appear during the spring and summer months.

I think this is a Birch Shieldbug, Elasmostethus interstinctus. This one was enjoying bright orange nasturtiums on a sunny afternoon.
