Brown Marmorated Stinkbug designed and folded by Jake Schenthal. Folded from an uncut square of origamido paper. Hope you all like it! :)
I think this is a Birch Shieldbug, Elasmostethus interstinctus. This one was enjoying bright orange nasturtiums on a sunny afternoon.

Who knew stink bugs could be so beautiful? The orange on this particular one looks like orange peel!
Being that winter had set in already here I wondered what alive item I could photograph in macro for Macro Monday's theme "It's alive". Then the sun came out and this guy that obviously found its way in weeks ago came out to sun itself. After his photo shoot he found himself out in the snow.
The first specimen in the US was collected in September 1998. We first started be harassed by them about five or six years ago.
Another shot with the mp-e65mm. This shot is 1:1 with a slight crop for a composition more pleasing to me.
This insect was in our garden perched on a blade of wild scallion. A Rough Stink Bug
(Brochymena) is beneficial to the garden...eating aphids and catepillars. Thanks to
"Mr & Mrs Apteryx australis" for the ID!!
I'm not certain on the species ID. Any correction or confirmation would be appreciated.

No se si es una Nezara viridula o una Edessa meditabunda, agradezco cualquier ayuda.
I'm not sure if it's a Nezara viridula or an Edessa meditabunda, I'd appreciate any help.

Stinker on a Pea Pod. This is a shield bug or stink bug nymph. She tried to drip white stinker stuff on me while I was taking her photo. I call her she because the face on the shield looks female and is probably seductive to other stink bugs.

As Precious As Rubies (Lateral View) -
A heroine in mid-July, I was so near I could suck her in with a deep breath but she would not forsake her babies and allow harm to come their way. Cuddling tightly under the safety of mama's belly, the newly-hatched juveniles were glossy red and very likeable. I think some eggs from this cluster had been parasitized because I saw two braconid wasps emerging from the translucent capsules. Seem likely the wasp laid their eggs inside the eggs of this shield bug, the wasp larvae consumes and pupate within the husk of the dead host.

____________________________________________________
The family name 'Pentatomidae' is from the Greek pente meaning "five" and tomos meaning "section", and refers to the five segments of the antenna. Members of the family - the Pentatomids - are generally called Shieldbugs, although in North America they prefer Stinkbug. Just to confuse matters, Shieldbug is the name given to many of the species within Pentatomidae and a three other related families. Shieldbug is a more fitting name as it relates to the body shape of adult bugs in these families - viewed from above they resemble a small heraldic shield. The American name Stinkbug is specific to the Pentatomids and refers to their ability to release a pungent defensive spray when threatened.
