Ok, that's bad. And they look so much like regular stink bugs.

It can almost pass for a Boxelder.

Doesn't really look like the stink-bugs I see around here. But I just read an article about them also. Nasty.

The stink bugs in my house look alarmingly like kissing bugs. The only way to tell the difference, other than size, is the flat area on the rear legs. (flat area = stink bug, no flat area = kissing bug). The stink bugs have the marginal orange stripes and everything.

The ones I've seen look a lot like the ones shown here at the top right of the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_marmorated_stink_bug

Much wider and more angular body than the bug the image above.

This is what the ones I have smelled look like. If it looks like a shield, it stinks.

Stink bugs come in many shapes and colors;
