Stinkbug Nymphs
Jeremiah Tan saw yesterday’s stinkbug picture and sent in this goodie, along with this information:
I’ve recently found this bunch of young ‘uns on the
wall just next to my bathroom window! 
Each one is about the size of uh…this capital “O”.
They should be around the 2nd instar, ‘cos I saw their moulted skins on the
window sill itself. At least, I hope they were moulted skins and not the
cannibalised remains of their weaker siblings. 
Now I now why I keep on getting stinkbugs in my room….
Yes, the reason is clear: It is because you share a bathroom. (Also, because stinkbugs have no sense of personal space.) A word of advice: don’t lend them your hair dryer, you’ll never get it back.
Thanks, Jeremiah!
Spent the evening hunting bugs with Steve Jackson in Austin, TX. We had a rockin good time, and got about a dozen postable pix between us.

My first thought was “my last name isn’t Tan.” Then my second thought was “and I didn’t take this picture.”
Very cool picture. They’re almost cute!

The nymphs ARE cute! They’re like the little rolly beetles in Guild Wars.
