    Stink bug, they smell pretty bad if you touch it or smash one. They are pretty invasive to some crops and plants.

    Makes me wonder this year we have a lot of hive grasshoppers too! Bigger than I have seen in a long time.

    Interesting! I have saved bugs from the fire a few times but I will admit if they are in there after it's roaring well I can only do so much before I start letting heat out and the bugs are on their own :whistle:

    Insects have been bad this year, seems like every species of them have been noticeably enhanced. Horse flies have been off the charts this year. never had a problem with them but you can't go outside without them biting you. They hurt too. My poor dog hides from them. Skeeters have been worse this year. We had a mild winter last year, we need a cold one with snow on the ground for a while, but we rarely get that anymore.

    We noticed an increase in them last year but there does not seem to be any more this year than last.
