Halloween Bug

Halloween Bug is the common name for this colorful stink bug. It's a Florida Predatory Stink Bug. I hadn't seen any this summer, until a couple of days ago. I saw three today. They are really shy.

Thank you so much for your kind comments and faves!!! I'm visiting a pumpkin patch tomorrow with family. I'm excited! We went last year and had a blast. :0)

Gorgeous clear capture of this beautiful stink bug. My sister is an entomologist, so we always had plenty of bugs around whenI was growing up. FAV.

Wow, our version here is just a boring brown, but that's ok, keep your version there. Don't want them around.

Superb detail... never knew a halloween bug existed .

ooh what a great bug. We have 'shield bugs' over here (UK) which are a similar type, but none so colourful as this one.

Oh so beautiful and ugly all at the same time. Well done!
