Because it was on my deck, and I'm dying to know wtf it is.

Shauk · 05-16-2008, 01:45 PM

stinkbug.

thats what I call em anyway.

if you pick em up, they basically fart, and it's nasty.

thats what I calls 'em. Also smell bad when you squish em, best to just let them be.

I guess there are like 80+ variations of em, they all smell bad. if you kill em, or if you disturb them, they just really like to fart all over the place.

Oh that's too funny. Luckily it didn't put up a big "stink" for me

Interesting creature though, but wish my deck wasn't all mottled-looking, otherwise it may be more clear to see the bug.

Actually, that looks more like a Western conifer seed bug, AKA leaf-footed bug

Hm. Maybe they're related to each other? They look similar.

Shauk · 05-16-2008, 07:39 PM

hrm, i think you're right actually.

funny, they both have a paragraph basically saying the exact same thing about them, the beak and such. the stink... etc...

*scratches head*

my impatient side wants to say "WHO CARES?! IT'S A BUG, GET IT AWAY FROM ME, BURN IT!"

oh wait, I don't currently have another side available

Leaf-footed bugs and stink bugs are very closely related. That is a leaf-footed bug.

Also, your deck's pattern gives me a headache.

My first reaction was:

"Ahh! Stinkbug! Don't touch it!"

Hehe. Yeah, I didn't have much say in the matter seeing as how I'm in an apartment. It looks better from far away.
