Life used to be "so easy" or at least not openly filled with 2-legged pests from our own country (turtles all the way down-style) ... and then came the stinkbugs. When on leaves (currants, raspberries, etc.) and disturbed (a single chopstick works well), they drop like a rock. Let them drop into a yogurt container with water and a few drops of dish detergent. They (& and beetles) can't swim and won't learn ... If only starlings, yellow jacket wasps or Giant Asian Killer Hornets would eat stinkbugs... BTW, life was never easy. Never will be. Carry on.

I hate those stinkbugs - we have them everywhere in late fall. Then they crawl out of the cracks/from the window frames inside our house all winter.

We have some stink bugs , but I think with our hard winters they die. We get June bugs. There is also potato bugs in the potato fields. Thankfully we don’t have a bunch of bugs like the warmer climate areas as they die out in the winter. No chiggers either. Thank heavens.
