Winter drives some of the herbivorous shield bugs to seek the warmth of homes. Most often seen is the Western Conifer Seed Bug. It is merely an aesthetic nuisance as it lethargically crawls across the floor. It can be picked up by its antennae and thrown outdoors. Although a stinkbug, it only offers a mild scent of cedar. 
A Consperse Stink Bug was new to me. It is one of the native shield or stink bugs of western North America. As I did not know if its defences were pungent or mild, I ushered it outdoors with utmost care.
They are hardy bugs, we are in the desert in southern Arizona. They are still crawling out of the recreational vehicles of people from B.C.
Thanks for posting.
Bob, that sort of transport would be scary if it weren’t for the fact that BC and AZ both seem to lie within the natural range of each bug.
Ah yes, our friend Geoffrey. – the 1st one – I’ve become more endeared to them having read the piece about this bug – leptoglossus ( leaf-legged) – by K. Linda Kivi in the book :The Inner Green. They’re imperturbable; reflective little Buddhas, and they’re ” true bugs.” I don’t think I’ve seen the Consperse Stink Bug, but will now be on the lookout. Thanks.
Beware of the invasive marmorated stink bug. Bad news making its way across the continent.
