This stinkbug was busy depositing her eggs on my washing line just as I rushed outside to rescue our dry washing from the impending thunderstorm. I took my chances and quickly grabbed my camera. The first thing that caught my eye was the row of darkening eggs. The light was very poor but I am still pleased with the outcome. Unfortunately the eggs…Read More
