We have an invasion of them these days. This one was sitting on my window glass, probably figuring out how to get inside.
Shot with 20D, 100mm 2.8 macro, and Sigma EM-140 DG ringflash, handheld.

Thanks for comments!
I wonder if those dots patterns are unique for each bug. Like bug's "fingerprints".

Very nice! :)

There are several different kinds of stinkbugs...some are pretty bland. This one isn't!

My cat thought she would play with one and found out the hard way just what they're capable of. She started foaming at the mouth. Thought we were going to have to take her to the vet but she got over it :D

Someone stole all of my photography equipment and replaced it with exact duplicates.

OMG! Glad she's OK!

Good that my cat is too lazy to chase them. She is 8 y.o.

When I catch one inside, I grab it carefully with a toilet paper, wrap it and flash down the toilet, trying not to crash it. I've been lucky so far, I was told that the smell is awful.


Thanks for comments, everyone !
