Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Ok, I just did some looking on the web, and I see that the bug I 
found on my pumpkin is not a squash vine borer.  My very old 
insect book calls it a stink bug because it smells when you kill it.  
It is gray-brown and kind of shaped like a shield. The bug does not 
have a hard body and it does fly.  At the most it is probably about 1 
inch but could be smaller as I'm terrible at estimating size.

Does anyone know what this is, and what I can do to prevent it?  
As I stated in a previous note, I lost all my squash stuff to this and 
other bugs last year.  

Thanks for any help.
