Welcome to the Community Husni and congrats, our Ranger team has chosen your crazy looking shield bug as its Spotting of the Week! Stink bugs earn their common name from their tendency to emit a foul smelling glandular substance when disturbed.

Congratulations on the nomination for SOTW Husni Che Ngah. I am hoping you will be the winner, I just think it is so unique and gorgeous and I have never seen anything like it...
Your spotting has been nominated for the Spotting of the Week. The winner will be chosen by the Project Noah Rangers based on a combination of factors including: uniqueness of the shot, status of the organism (for example, rare or endangered), quality of the information provided in the habitat and description sections. There is a subjective element, of course; the spotting with the highest number of Ranger votes is chosen. Congratulations on being nominated!
