Stink bug

[V6GTO]

When my boy Marcus was about 5 he brought one of these indoors and said, very proudly, "Look Daddy...a Stink bug". "Why is called a Stink bug?" I asked warily. In true 5 year old boy style he said "Because when you squash them they stink!" I nearly wet myself laughing

Nice pic! Can we see one of it squashed too?

Since this is one of only three threads on the front page that actually has a picture on it (i know I'm as guilty as anyone else) I thought I'd bump it up.

Would love to see how much detail is in the eye - how far away were you when you took this?

100%...taken from as close as the 100mm Macro goes...about 6" from subject to front of lens. 1/200 @f32 ISO 100.

The perfect place for me to post a rubbish pic then:

Now, just to clarify: I don't think this is a good photo. I am just alarmed at how stupid sheep are. I see them every day. And I now have evidence.



It's no wonder we eat them. It's either that or send them to Westminster.

Yeah...but WTF has that got to do with a Stink bug? Apart from the fact that sheep stink
