Stink Bugs
For the past few evenings I have been visited by a Stink Bug as it flies around the lamp over my computer. It hangs out on some papers near by, walks a little, then flies again. So I Googled them and what I found out was interesting to me. Apparently they seem to have arrived in South Eastern Pennsylvania in 1998 from Japan and China. Allentown seems to be the place where they entered Pennsylvania.
I have never killed one so I do not know the smell they give off that renders their name. All I know is that they find a way into a house or building and hang out. They can be found in large groups if you don't watch out but they are relatively harmless to humans but can cause damage to plants of course.
To me they are curious insects that don't bother me for they don't bite, sting or attempt to irritate me as other insects can. They just hang out, move slowly and look like a tiny armored tank.
