Description
these are common in central US and I think they are a type of stink bug that releases a foul smell chemical that causes predators to leave them alone. If our resident bug experts knows the true identity please tell me
thanks so much for your time visiting and comments are appreciated.I hope youhave a wonderful weekend
Meredith sent me an im to let us know she is fine and over ran with work. She will return as soon as a large project is finished at work. She sends her love
