Late-Winter Indoor Nature in New Jersey. Stink Bug.
I have gone the entire winter and only saw a couple of Stink Bugs in the house. So tonight, while cooking dinner this Stink Bug decided to become a target while I was cooking dinner.
Just wondering if anyone is viewing my “Image of the Day” photo blog”. I have not posted anything for the last month, and didn’t get any feedback wondering where I was or if there would be more posts. The blog has been getting 20-40 spam messages a day to older posts, which I do not pass forward. At the same time, I have been posting images almost every day to Google+, mainly to various “Daily Photography Themes“. For these posts, I get many pluses (+) and comments. I am trying to figure out if there is a real audience to “My Image of the Day” photo blog. Please comment either to this blog or by e-mail.

That is one of the finest photos I have ever seen of the brown marmorated stink bug. Nice shot.
In case you don’t already know, you should not crush or squish a stink bug inside the house, as the odor released will attract others.
Also, the biggest problem is when the weather turns cooler in September and they start looking for warm places to hang out. Best to seal up any little holes or crevices in which they can enter before then.
