Bugland: Little Stinkers

As the weather warms up, mama Stink Bugs lay their eggs, usually on the underside of the leaf of a host plant. After a few days the baby Stink Bugs, called nymphs, will hatch. Stink Bugs are not dangerous. They do not bite or sting or transmit diseases. But they will emit an unpleasant odor if they are threatened. You may be wondering, do baby Stink Bugs stink? Sure, but only if they are harassed. Your best bet is to just leave them alone. These Stink Bug nymphs were photographed in Park Hill by Mark Silverstein.
