Stink Bug: Up Close with the Playsport Macro Lens attachment.

Playing with the Marco lens attachment for my Kodak Playsport. Picked up the lens from a China website for $10, not bad, Plus it has a screw on Wide angle lens. This little bug is the worst. They started showing up this year. If you kill them they give off a horrible smell like a skunk and if you disturb them, they will also omit the odor, which also attracts more of them. GREATTTT!! Tried not to get too close just in case it sprayed my camera.

wow! iIm utterly shocked! could you send me to the website you got this from? This close up just looks insane! Now I'm completely psyched to get my camera in. Awesome little insects these are, I have to say. Thanks!

@microiguana The website is Deal Extreme. I'm unable to add a link. The lens was $10. Being it's coming from China it took about 25 days to arrive.

Description on the site: Universal 13mm Wide-Angle/0.67X Macro Lens Attachment for Digital Cameras and Cell Phones

I started to capture footage of insects to put together a real "Bugs Life" clip.

@tobaaco Yeah, I was surprised how good the $10 lens was.

I HATE HATE HATE STINK BUGS! We had our first encounter with the monster bugs in Virginia this past summer when camping in our popup! Even after returning home we were still capturing the stinkin bugs a month later. I did find out that straight ammonia in a squirt bottle sprayed on them directly KILLS THEM within a minute! That was the only thing good that came from our vacation!
