| I'm not familiar with 'Stink bugs'. Not sure if we have them here in NY. What do they look like?

| I don't like bugs. I am marginally tolerant of a few (ladybugs, preying mantises, dragonflies, some butterflies...that's about it) but for the most part, I consider them horrifying. I got the shock of my life when I moved to South Africa. I don't know what it is, but the bugs here are aggressive and they are HUGE! I now have an exterminator on speed dial on my cell, and he comes out and sprays my house twice a year. The roaches here are big enough to put saddles on...and they run AT you in broad daylight!! We have a thing here called a rain spider that looks like a daddy long legs crossed with a hairy wolf spider, and they are about 4" in diameter! Then there is the baboon spider that is the size of a toddler's hand and has fangs .5 cm long that eats mice and birds...and is poisonous! Add huge mosquitoes and flies that fly under your glasses and try to fly up your nose or into your eyes, and you can see how challenging the insect population here is. Stink bugs are nasty, but wouldn't you rather have them than spiders that eat mammals and birds?? I'm just wondering what Puddin' is going to do when she finds them!

| No, these things are flat, really weird looking and NOTHING kills them...they fly around buzzing and if you kill them they give off a really foul odor. I am in PA and this place is just taken over by them. |

They have flying cockroaches in Durban, my husband's home town. They are about 3" long and terrifying to have them fly at you, but at least they don't stink when you kill them

| From both of your descriptions, we don't have a bug like that up here. But since insects are migrating all the time, it's probably only a matter of time. Ugh...they sound awful.

| Eww... Gross! I hate bugs and spiders. Especially big ones, or ones that attack you!

| Nope those aren't the one's we have in Pa. They're here year round!! They're kind of greyish brown and have a hard shell. They fly around my lights. Otherwise you catch them walking on the walls!!They're triangle shaped and have 6 or 8 legs and crunch when you kill them and omit the most intense vulgar smell that lasts awhile. We kill them and flush them down the loo!! My Gr. Son is scared to death of them!! Yuck, I like ladybugs,butterflies,and really scream @ the rest of the bug population!! I call my Hubs and say, "RORY KILL IT!!!!" and so do our 2 girls...

| I grew older in Western Pa & we had stink bugs...they sucked, but not as bad a horse flys! In Fla...we have hurricanes...they suck too. |
