I was tending to my last pumpkin vine when I walked in on these two lovebugs. I had intruded on their intimate moment. They stood still as if not to be noticed. But I snapped this picture before they released their bond and scurried away. What kind of bug are they?
My research concluded that these bugs are called Stink Bugs. Why?
This is because when they feel threatened, like a skunk, they released foul smelling liquids. Thus the name, Stink Bug
Do Stink Bugs Stink?
According to stinkbugsguide, definitely, they stink highly offensive and abhorrent smell when molested or crushed. Stink bugs embark upon stinking as a defensive act to prevent any threat to their lives. Moreover, this stink also serves the purpose of inviting other stink bugs to relatively warm and lightened areas.
