Whether they are stink bugs or squash
bugs, those shield-shaped bugs are a
big nuisance here too. Last year I saw
the first one, running up to the top of
a squash leaf when I was giving that
part of the garden a heavy watering.
I came to wish I had dropped everything
and caught the sucker, because in a few
weeks there were too many of them to
control without spraying, and they
really damaged my garden.
Unfortunately, they look a lot like a
beneficial (to the garden) insect.
Time to get out the identification
book and get prepared.
