🐞 TWO BUGS, ONE BRANCH 🐞

This is a shield bug. Also known as a "stink bug" because as a defence, the spray predators with a foul smelling liquid.

It is wandering backwards and forth on this branch.

As long as I don't annoy it, it won't spray.
If you ever see a beetle shaped like this. Pick it up and give it a pat! I dare ya!

Hey! Theres another bug! i wonder if it will get defensive and spray...

No it won't! This other bug is actually a stink bug "nymph". It is just a younger version of the bigger one!

it's coming for a look, all tough because its older brother is there.

Baby stink bugs go through various stages of growth, this is just one of them.
