This is no artistic success, displayed here for ID purposes only. What I know.

* These critters invade our home in the fall and are very prolific. They somehow enter from the outdoors

* They are approx. 1 to 2 inches long

* They fly similarly to a wasp, kind of herky jerky

* If indadvertantly squashed, they emit a very unpleasant odor. The cats keep forgetting this part. :smile: We have named them 'stinkbugs' but they are not the true stink bugs.

Any help is appreciated.

Took some more proper floral macros and will post them later.

Thanks,

George
