Two For One_DSC5570

I decided to tackle the windy conditions to get a shot of this stink bug and didn't notice the little one, until I zoomed in to check the focus of my first shot. I think it's probably a juvenile stink bug.

great close up. Why are they called stink bugs?

[Merrelyn]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @windridge Stink bugs get their name from the unpleasant odor they produce when they are threatened. They produce the smelly chemical in a gland on their abdomen and some species can actually spray the chemical several inches.

Great macro for the windy weather or any weather for that matter. The little guy is a real bonus. Well done.
