Thank you China.

UGH. I hate those things. You find them everywhere. My friend opened her purse the other day and there was one in there!

LOL! We have them too, but I don't understand why they are called "stink bugs"? I guess I never got close enough to them or they just didn't stink on me.

As for thanking China, I think there is someone else you should thank for them, since most of our products are Chinese imports. *insert halo here* Smile

They are scary looking, a prehistoric bug w/ armor! They only stink when you smash them (which I don't). DS catches them and sticks them in a jar, to die. {#emotions_dlg.w00t}

We see about 1 or 2 a day now. Nothing like we did in previous years. Last year when it started to warm up there would be hundreds of them on the house. Some of them overwintered in our attic. Think the cold weather took a toll on a lot of them in our area.

Why not just put them back outside? That sounds sadistic to me.
