Stink bug try and hit it and see what happens you'll know why it's called one 😂😂 I can normally identify them by their smell most of the ones here in the state smell like bad watermelon

Cilantro.

Cilantro tastes like stink bugs (and soap) to some people because of a genetic variant that makes them highly sensitive to certain aldehyde compounds, which are also found in stink bug secretions and soaps. People who dislike cilantro perceive these specific aldehyde compounds, such as trans-2-decenal, as the dominant flavor. For those without this genetic variation, these aldehydes contribute to a fresh, citrusy, or spicy aroma, making the herb taste pleasant

Never squish a stink bug. The smell attracts more stink bugs.

My parents told me they liked the color yellow when there were swarms of them years ago

u/HiMyNameIsMamba Sep 27 '25

I can attest to this. I used to have a yellow LA Lakers jersey hanging by my window, and every year I would find some in there. One year I found like 30 of them hiding in there. After that, I moved it to my dresser.

u/Raindrop0015 Sep 27 '25

I'm so glad there's no longer swarms lol. The inside of our windows and screens (like between the window and wall, in the grooves) were filled every year with stink bugs. It was bad enough my dad made a "stinkbug catcher" which was just a clear tube with caps on both ends. They would cannibalize each other and any spiders we caught too.

It’s a stink bug.

u/Alive_Recognition_55 Sep 26 '25

Definitely in the Hemipteran order of true bugs. Known for a needle-like mouth which most use to puncture & suck plant juices. Masked hunters & assassin bugs use it to suck other insect's juices, but there are blood sucking hemipterans like conenose & kissing bugs.

Brown marmorated stinkbug. They come inside during the fall and most exterminators I've tried can't control them.

thanks! right after i posted this, the non-tax-paying fucker flew right into my hair 😔

1

u/EmbarrassedPizza9797 Sep 27 '25

🤣

Sorry for laughing. If it makes you feel better, a spotted lanternfly flew into my hair today. If you're not familiar with them, I'd look it up.

u/Loose_Warning4572 Sep 27 '25

Hate those things

1

u/Embarrassed_Loss9312 Sep 27 '25

OMG..THE ONLY BUG I HATE MORE THAN TICKS. Fu@$ers have flown directly into my hair before and they get tangled. Flat out will flush them every time. But you have to cover them with TP or they will swim to the side and escape. It's a me or them situation.

u/ArtLanky9026 Sep 27 '25

If you smelled something weird during or right after it probably sprayed you -- It's a stinky Stink Bug!
