    Re: What the heck is this?

    Speaking of stink bugs ...

    There are roughly 25 states that are infested with a 'new and improved' stink bug = the brown marmorated stink bug. The are ridiculously damaging to all crops, whether it be row crops and even trees in nurseries. And, they are even top the multicolored Asian ladybeetle at getting in homes about this time of year.


    We've not found them in Iowa, yet, but are on the lookout. If you think you've got one, let the ISU Plant, Insect and Diagnostic Clinic know, or the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship at 515-725-1470.

    They have a unique coloration/pattern on the antennae and outter margin of their wings. Good pics can be seen in the following online resources -

    Pennsylvania
    Maryland (note the article contains more links to info)

    Sorry to hijack a thread dedicated to Brety Favre in order to provide a bit of information.

    Yeah, I think the colloquial name for it is squashbug. I always get those mixed up.

    Just gotta get your microscope out and count antennae segments.

    I'll get right on that.

    My son is actually the budding entomologist in the family. I get corrected by him frequently.

    bugs4cy will have to confirm, but I believe Assassin Bugs/Beetles or Kissing Bugs are a completely different family of insect. They do look fairly similar though.

    Excessive intake of alcohol, we all know, kills brain cells, but naturally it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers.

    I'm pretty sure the stink bug picture above is mis-labeled, and is actually a leaf footed bug.

    That looks pretty close to it. I couldn't really see a ridge in his back until I got a side profile. I was kind of surprised that he was that big (that's what she said).
