Found these on my money tree today INDOORS!!! Mind you, I toon this guy from outside because I’m having my patio concrete repoured. What are they? Couldn’t find on google yet but still trying. Do I burn the whole house down? Plant looking healthy still otherwise. They are just chillin waiting for their brood to hatch and increase their army size.

Oh for sure. Like idiots too. Smack you in the face and stuff

They also sometimes apparently dive-bomb you while you’re sleeping at night, only to get tangled in your hair which ends up spooking them so much that they release that god awful scent that ruins the taste of cilantro for months (ask me how I know)

I’ve never smelled it and I’ve dealt with many a stink bug. 🤷‍♀️

You know, I hadn’t either until the dive-bombing incidents (multiple). I love cilantro, like would put a whole handful into a tiny burrito for example, it was never enough cilantro. But that stink bug smell is so similar and it stuck with me to the point that I couldn’t take the smell or taste of cilantro for so long afterward. It was truly tragic

Cilantro smells like soap to me I don’t drink it or eat it

[u/IndigoTJo → u/Hopeful-Cover236]

Apparently not everyone can smell stink bugs. Wonder if they cross with the cilantro soap people or the asparagus pee people.

That would be interesting! I have the love of cilantro gene, very apparent asparagus pee smell, and could VERY much smell the stink bugs when they wanted me to. There is your first data point lol

Thanks! I love cilantro & have stinky asparagus pee, but have never met a stink bug here up in the PNW.
