stinky, stinky, stinky

so i've noticed that these new annoying bugs have been bombarding my window screen. 

these are called stink bugs and they are super annoying. several have successfully escaped into my room and freaked me out with a perfect landing in my hair. and since they do nothing but obscure my window view of my trees, i wanted to see what the deal is with these things!!!! 

i swear i haven't seen these damn things last year so i googled them and found that they are from china. great. i understand we get a lot of things from china, but c'mon. bugs now too?? i can do without, chinese government. 

so apparently you can't kill these suckers with regular pesticides like bombs and if you do try and kill them they emit a stink like skunks do. 

on the flip side, vacuums and they don't have mouths and poison so they can't kill you! most they'll do is maybe suck on you. also, in vietnam, these things are eaten as crunchy snacks. so, maybe this will be our new american cuisine? [cue the gag reflex]
