I have been admiring stink bugs in our garden for the past several
months. Now I realize they can cause a lot of damage so I should be
removing them (I suspect that would be not easy!).<br><br>
I found this one in our house. It is the Green Stink Bug (<i>Acrosternum
hilare</i>), I believe. (The similar looking Pale Margined Stink Bug
(<i>Chlorochroa perimilis) </i>is different enough to be
eliminated.<br><br>

The more common brown/dark &amp; tan stink bugs are intriguing as to
their ability to escape spider webs. I watch them getting caught but they
extricate themselves, then walk across the web to the next plant. These
are quite small compared to the Green Stink Bug. Here is a photo of
a&nbsp; dark one:<br><br>
