Definitely a Brown Marmonated Stink Bug. Don't squish it, the stink is awful and nothing will take away the small. Birds won't eat them, either. Just disposed of one yesterday. Gently grabbed it with toilet paper and flushed it.

Species of stinkbug. Do not squish. Catch and release outside. They're attracted to light, and love small spaces to be in.

Stinkbug! Harmless, don't squish them. Catch/trap and send them outside, feed the birds.

Yes, Brown Marmorated Stink Bug. We got them in our motorhome from a camping spot. They like to hide in crevices and they got into everything. I was still finding them a year and a half later. If you have a little hand held rechargeable vacuum that's a good tool for catching them.

That’s what I thought too, but I grew up with stink bugs and these all seem larger

There are so many varieties of North American stink bugs. And females tend to be a bit larger than the males.

That was something I didn’t know before making this post

Well, if you kill one and it stinks, then stink bug it is.

Brown marmorated stink bug.

That looks like it is it! The ones I grew up with were smaller, and must’ve been a different species. That was Nebraska.

Roommate looked it up and was like “oh the internet just says they smell like coriander. Obviously that’s not so bad.” I was like “whatever you say dog.” I know stink bugs smell like shit from when I was kid.

Coriander?

The frick?

Honestly, I've never gotten my nose that deep in coriander, I mean, maybe the bug smells like that.

The problem with stink bugs is that whatever that smell is, smells all at freaking once.

Yeah idk I can’t stand the smell of stink bugs when I was a kid. I’m sure it’s just as bad or worse with these bigger ones
