| Carpocoris fuscispinus is an insect of the stink bugs family (Pentatomidae). Shield bug and stink bug (or shieldbug and stinkbug) are common names applied to various insects of the Hemiptera order (the "true bugs"), in the Heteroptera suborder. Shield bugs have glands in their thorax between the first and second pair of legs which produce a foul smelling liquid. This liquid is used defensively to deter potential predators and is sometimes released when the bugs are handled carelessly. It's lenght is 11-14 mm, it is rather popular in the middle of Europe. This one is sitting on an onion's flower that was out of bloom. |

Certainly this is as good a shot of this stink bug. The colors are very bright. This is not the same version of stink bug I had frequent infestations the last 2 years in the mountains. I found that by making your brain sense a sour apple instead of whatever that is he puts off...it makes it not so bad eh?
