Stinkbugs smell like Cilantro, but

#Stinkbugs use a fungus-carrying organ on their hind legs to coat their eggs in #fungi🍄🦵
This provides a physical defense against #parasitic wasp oviposition🛡️

Milo smacked down a stink bug and tried to eat it. But stink bugs, surprisingly, don't taste good. Milo made a Stank Face (TM) and ran away. I had to end the suffering of the half-masticated bug.

A shieldbug or stinkbug. Resplendent in orange and black stripes. Dorsal view the stripes run front to back down the whole body.

Bonjour Richard! @bugmanjones.bsky.social I’ve found one of your friends in Brittany but didn’t bring ‘the book’!
However, I’m pretty sure this is Graphosoma italicum in its fancy get up!

There are dozens and dozens of invasive #StinkBugs crawling around on my house trying to find a way in.
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ICK!

Has anybody come up with a plan for the invasive stink bugs? I heard at one point there was some sort of parasitic wasp as maybe an option? Any chance that we can fast track that? I'm really sick and tired of finding a dozen a day in the house. (Knowing full well that there are probably dozens […]
The funk has arrived to Bug Community Day! Stinkbugs can be friend or foe, depending on what they like to eat🐛🍎

Well, it's officially time to put the feeders away. These fkrs are out in full force now. 😒

A stink bug nymph is shown twice; in the first image, it is holding tight to a branch. In the second image, it has pushed up with its forelegs to maximum height, as if doing a pushup.
This stink bug nymph, casually doing pushups while making eye contact: “Do you even lift, bro?”

Three perspectives of a stink bug at night are shown. Its normally thin body is extra thick, likely in preparation for molt. It is various shades of brown and gray.
Looks like we’ll be moving to fifth instar sometime soon! They look so plump before they molt - then it all makes sense when they expand so much post-molt.

A large stink bug nymph rests on a Texas lilac branch one day after molting. Its right rear leg is red and white, which is unusual.

Molt outcomes yesterday for group 1: 4-5 survived; two bad molts resulted in one survivor with a funky leg and one death. The left nymph shown below is the one with the bad leg - back right leg seemed to get stuck somehow.

Cream-colored, very small eggs are shown on a broken branch. They are barrel-shaped and showing some dark spots, indicating the larvae inside are getting ready to emerge.
Looks like we’ll soon have more stink bug nymphs to observe! Based on appearance (the obvious dark spots in the cream color of the eggs), these will hatch very soon.

A couple of stink bugs are shown on a twig; one is freshly molted and still a mixture of red and white. The other is the normal gray/brown.

Turns out, my other group of stink bug nymphs, which are 1-2 weeks younger than the first set, were ALSO molting today! #MoltingMonday? Just spotted a few. Where the other four are, I do not know.

A recently-molted stink bug is shown, with its white/red coloration already beginning to darken into grays and browns.
The darkening process has already begun for the first to molt. I’m hoping to capture one molting from start to finish, buuuuut this is Texas, and it’s hot.

A freshly molted stink bug is shown on a twig. It is white with a variety of red and yellow markings. It stands next to a cluster of other nymphs which will presumably molt soon as well.
Things I Never Thought I’d Say, #1:
“OMG THEY’RE MOLTING! How exciting!”

I know #StinkBugs are not everyone's favorite insect but the colors on this Juniper Stink Bug, Banasa euchlora are just fantastic. 😻

Two rough stink bug nymphs on their likely third or fourth instar are shown on a leaf at night. One rests on the top of the leaf, while the other holds to the bottom.
How do you think they decided who gets top bunk and who gets bottom bunk? 🤔

Have you ever heard the buzz of flapping wings in your house and then stop and start looking for where the #stinkbug landed?

From above, a brown shield-shaped bug with a textured pattern on its wing covers sits on a green leaf.
The lowly brown marmorated stink bug (Halyomorpha halys) is a pest in homes, but if you look closely, it is quite beautiful. I especially like the ruby-red ocelli behind the eyes and subtle patterns in the hemelytra (wing covers).
