stinkbugs

[Speedbag]

isn't Charlie Sheen's blood the modern equivalent?
We need to clone the man in massive quantities and set them loose upon the pests.

No!!!!  

One bite of Charlie and they would no doubt become immune to everything.....

So, what do stinkbugs smell like??

Good question. That's hard to describe. Just nasty shit. If you startle them and/or squish them they put off a nasty odor. Natural defense mechanism ala skunk but not nearly as effective. After all they are smaller than a dime. How much olfactory damage can something that small cause? They probably don't taste very good either.

I dare ya.

show up at DIMBY with a stinkbug and I'll eat it
good incentive to get you there?

Tempting, but I'm fresh out of stinkbugs. They all froze to death months ago.

Stink bugs

Faith: If one must, it’s advisable to begin by eating insects that crisp up well when roasted. I wouldn’t suggest starting with anything too chewy, like a worm, or too fleshy, like cicadas. You want to ease into the experience while not making a total fool of yourself. It’s helpful if the people with whom you are feasting are under the age of ten. They will be paying more attention to the meal at hand than to you. … Stink bugs fit the category of crispy insect. … The taste experience is rather like eating a bitter sunflower seed, shell and all, without salt. I chew quickly.

They taste absolutely vile.  Through an unfortunate series of circumstances, I ended up taking a bite out of one.  The "stink" part stays with you for hours (I had to change clothes and wash everything) and I ended up gagging/puking into the sink for nearly an hour afterwards.

One good thing about AZ is not too many bugs. Wolf spiders, black widows and scorpions are in abundance! I've had several encounters with all of them here. We had stink bugs in Michigan. You want to know what they smell like, eh?  Well, a really juicy one will be so bad that you'll almost taste it. No bueno! Right when I saw the thread title, it instantly brought the smell back to my olfactory. :p   unfortunately, every one of dogs learned the hard way when they bit into one those nasty critters. Lesson learned..keep away from the stink bugs!

One way to get rid of them. 

1,000,000 volt taser meets stink bug

That's disturbing.

We have tons of 'em here during the PA summers.

The good: they are harmless

The bad: they can get anywhere because they can fit through a gap the thickness of a sheet of paper. And they stink

I believe PA is where they were discovered but harmless, they do crop damage.
