Stink Bugs Suck

[Bob S]

Even I can't sneak up on my wife in bed (usually).
About a month ago I did catch a good sized spider before she noticed.
Amazing where these bugs get to.

Yeah, we have stink bugs out here on the left coast as well.

They usually like to get on your vegetables or berries and when you pick the fruit they emit that stink.
I hate those things with a passion.

If anything I pick smells like them I absolutely can't eat it.

Down with stink bugs!

When we lived in Tucson, one night when I was out of town a scorpion crawled into our bed and stung my wife on a finger, her arm swelled up to the elbow real quick and it was pretty painful for a while.

Fortunately it was only a baby scorpion and not the real dangerous variety. Freaked me out too because I couldn't do anything directly except tell her to go to the ER.

They sneak in under the garage doors, or run in when the doors are open and hide, then come in under the door into the house.

If one gets in your python boot you can get a bad case of stinkfoot.

Which Stick Bugs... Pentatomidae or Boisea Trivittata, the "boxelder bug”?

Gross-out moment: I think that the Boxelder Bug is eaten in some areas of Indo-China... Laos and Vietnam. It's considered “Fine Gourmet”. At least, that's what I read somewhere.

Cheers,

The boxelder bug only comes out or around in my region in certain years but when they do man they are a mess.

Since I haven't studied these bugs I can only assume they hang out at Mikey's place until they decide to make the trip to Minnesota.
