I do have a collection of stink bug mating photos, must say I have spent some time watching one drag the other around. Still not sure which is which. Just like some caterpillars, unsure which end is which.

Be careful.

I was that big bug once!! Bloody hell, only once. The rotten stinkin' filthy thing was in some letuce I ate some years ago. I cracked him open between my teeth.... and what a burst of flavour. :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright: :pukeright:

Are you human?: hmm, fishy question

Yep DD is right, they cause much damage in the garden, they carry viruses that attack tomatoes, the real damage is to citrus, they suck the sap from the young end shoots of the branch, this is where the young fruit is forming. If the infestation is heavy, no fruit at all.
You need a serious chemical spray to knock them out, which I wont use.
Parasitic wasps kill many, and spangled drongos eat them.....dont know how they do it as the spray/juice from them is caustic, if not removed from your skin immediately, it will burn and form a scab. I KNOW !!
Rubber gloves and pick em off !!

Are these stink bugs? I have lots of these on my tomato plants. I thought they were baby ladybugs at first.

Has anyone found a way to get rid of them or is it manual removal?
Do silver perch eat them if I throw them in the tank or best to keep them out?

Cheers
Rob
