Oso – I guess this could have been worse. You could have gone for the other word instead.

This fella? I’m pretty sure all bugs are female. Hence the verb.

As my mind’s not much bigger than the bush bug it’s not difficult to weave lengthy narratives, Jonty!

I have the other critters around here too, actually. Some of CFR’s better posts have been written by the iguanas who hang out on my desk.

A lot of thoughts on such a tiny creature. Good thing you don’t visit my apartment too often G, what with the geckos, praying mantises, millipedes, congorees and the occasional iguana that find themselves there.

Incidentally, did the bush bug go? (Just be glad it wasn’t a bed bug, of the Spoileresque variety.)

Georgia..the charming creature to which you refer is the brown marmorated stink bug…or Halyomorpha halys the very name of shich in either English or Latin says it all.
