I went to a funeral last week, small one. It was for the STINK BUG who invaded my computer room last summer. He drove me nuts with his (yes, it had to be a male) clicking. I could not find him. My (good heavens) bug and others invaded my home during the very hot summer that we had last year. That closes the thought that try to get in because of the cold. I washed a set of curtains and when I took out the curtains and the washing machine was full of dead bugs, except one that was still alive. Through all the wash and spin cycles, it was still alive, but not for long. I called to M. to take them out because I couldn't reach them. I found the bug, dead, on his back and legs up in the air. I found some other dead bugs at the same time and they all were on their backs and legs up in the air. I wonder what killed them. Barb tipperboo12@msn.com

I think they get on their back and can't turn over. Jus t my opinion. I have had some around here that way. Being in the country helps I think, but I think they have them in town also.

Thank God for you Barb. Some years back one spring i saw a few bugs on their backs in the light fixture. Told my man to get them out please because i was spring cleaning and he said o.k. i will take them out in the morning, but in the morning they were gone and by dark they were flying around the room. Next morning when he went out side to do chores they must have went with him because i never saw one again till fall. So who knows what dies or what really hibernates thu winter?? Viola.

Viola It seems odd that I found them all in the same position. Someone said that they leave off an odor when they are killed. This isn't true. They leave off an odor when they want to have, sex. Humans cannot smell this odor. A guy here in Pittsburgh has built what he thinks is a tool to get rid of them. One time a few months back I heard this funny sound in my bedroom and I called to M. and told him that there is something in my room making a noise. Sure enough, I found what was making that sound, a STINK BUG. Now what purpose do they serve. While reading about them I read that the reason that lighting bugs light up is because they want to have sex to. We have bugs that are sex crazy. Fits right in this world.

Is it possible your husband could be the long searched for "Pied Piper of Stink Bugs"?
