Thanks!! I plan to take a video and post here. The 1st time we lived here in MD the stink bugs were out of control. Two years later and we have a new challenge. Time to get the vacuum!

Great shot! We're infested with them too & they are pests here in Tennessee as they out compete the native species for food, & also damage flowers & fruit if there are insufficient aphids.

While trying to eat my daughters lollipop they're pests. Along with the milkweed bugs, the Asian beetles are all over my house and windows.

Actually asian lady beetles aren't pests. They eat aphids - the real pests!
