Fruit Eater - _TNY_4987
How about a berry fart? Shield bugs (stink bugs in North America) scare of predators by spraying a foul-smelling liquid - which is the reason Swedes call the shield bug "bärfis", literally meaning beery fart.
This particular species which I found in the Tyresta National Park (though it is quite common) is a northern fruit bug (Carpocoris fuscispinus).
