Stink Bug vs. Wife

Grace hates bugs, she's a city girl. I recently found a Stink Bug, as it turns out their proper name is Pinacate. Read up on them if you're so inclined http://www.desertusa.com/mag01/may/papr/sbug.html
anyway... I decided to have her close her eyes and let me put "something" in her hand. I still can't believe she was a good enough sport to go through with it. Later she told me she thought I was going to put either a dead bird into her hand or a piece of doggie leftovers. Perish the thought.



***Spoiler Alert***
In the end everyone lives, even the wife.

@apsaras6

In SoCal, we call it a stink bug, though when I google searched it, "stink bug" showed another picture.

Thanks for the comment.

I hate them sooo much we get them a lot lately... my cat who is a great bug hunter/ killer made the mistake of eating one and she threw up for two days after she ate it. no matter what we do they still get in our house. EWWWWWWWWWWW

I haven't seen too many in our yard, but they are pretty common in the nearby fields.

From what I've read, they emit an odor. Humans can't really smell it, but it can irritate dogs that might want to bother it.

Thanks for watching.

@bowlingballout yea there becoming a problem in north jersey... we tried everthing to get rid of them if you squash it the smell it leaves behind will also atract other stink beetles to the area it was killed.

Even though I laughed like crazy, I never, EVER... let somebody use the line of "close your eyes". No way. It was funny though. So Joey, how long did you have to sleep on the couch ?? ROFL
