RE: SteemitPhotoChallenge Nature Macro II - Entry 2 - Brown marmorated stink bug.
Oh thanks! I didn't know I have to look at the antennas. I was trying to find one that looked exactly like my one in google and I think I got it right :)
I had no clue they are so bad! I found this one in my mums garden but on a barberry bush. There are apple and peach trees nearby. The apple are very old and don't give almost any fruits anymore - but they are pretty trees and we keep them for now. Peaches are young and should have fruits (not this year since the frost killed the flowers).
Bad bad beasts! Other stink bugs don't do damage?
Thanks! :)
Our native stink bugs are kept in check by birds, so I don't see them very much at all. And they are more interested in soft fruits, like grapes or blackberries. And there are plenty of those to share, lol.
And congratulations on your Steemit PhotoChallenge award for your terrible stinkbug! It's a great photo, for sure!
Thanks! At least he did a good job there ;) haha
I remember there were always those bugs in grains when it was time to pick it (don't know the English word for it)
