Last month Ken found this little stink bug sitting in the chair with him. At first he thought it was a piece of food but when he tried to pick it up, the thing moved back out of his fingers.
That's when he called me in the room to get the bug and set it free outside. If you aren't familiar with stink bugs, they are called that because if you squish them they release a really bad odor. So if you see one, it's better to just put their stinky butts outside. They don't bite and they don't seem to move very fast, at least this one didn't.
I remember those when we lived in the West. Our bug menace this last year were these flying bugs that were black with a little red on them. They kept getting inside and banging about trying to get back out. LOL
ReplyDeleteDon't know if I've seen those.
DeleteOh yeah, where I grew up there were lots of them. It's best not to squish them.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have known that if I hadn't seen it on fb.
DeleteAh yes we have some here too
ReplyDeleteAt least they're slow and easy to pick up. lol
DeleteWe get tons of those inside year round. Oddly enough, I don't think everyone has the gene to smell them. I can't.
ReplyDeleteI didn't squish him so I don't know what they smell like.
DeleteYIKES! (lol)
ReplyDeleteLOL
DeleteI don't think I've seen one in person yet, but yikes. I hate bugs

DeleteEvict them. Check!
ReplyDeletelol yes.
DeleteEck, bugs!
ReplyDeletelol at least they don't bite.
DeleteI hate those things
ReplyDeleteThey are all over the place outside.
DeleteI am so not a bug fan! lol
ReplyDeletelol I don't mind them except for the bee's.
DeleteI've seen those but didn't know they were stink bugs!!! O_O
ReplyDeleteI didn't either until I saw a meme on fb.
DeletePerfect timing! My dog found one of those in my house tonight. Out it went!
ReplyDeletelol They were all over outside last month.
DeleteI have my house sprayed and these little buggers still make their way in all the time. They are so ugly and prehistoric looking. And their feet are so sticky, it takes me forever to shake them off my finger when I move them back outside.
ReplyDeleteYeah he didn't want to move off my hand when I took him outside.
DeleteWe have a lot of stink bugs around here. I have nicknamed them flat bugs ;) I think they're so cute, the smell not so much.
ReplyDeleteI move most of the bugs outside when I find them inside.
