    I found this Stink bug on a flower feeding. Stink bugs feed on apples, peaches and also on field crops like sorghum and cotton. They get their name “stink bug” from the unpleasant odour they produce when they are threatened. Scientists think the stink bugs might use the odour as a defence mechanism against predators.
