noooo, I forget what the thing is, I used to call them boot bugs, but I forget their proper name.

Looks like a stink bug to me. I accidentally bit into one while eating mulberries and believe me, the taste is worse than the smell.

I don't know what it was but it appeared it was munching on my Hibiscus leaves. I let him be though. Figure winter is coming soon.

I believe it is a "stink bug" don't know the latin name. It is a kind of sap sucker. Kill it if you want. Just don't eat it. yuck. Bad Melanie, Bad!

While at my mom's for the holidays I saw Survivor (for the first time! what rock have I been living under?) and enjoyed watching them squeeze out the worm guts and eat the worms. Funny stuff.
