The Stink Bug Family

2 of the 5 are now dead. They picked the first one's arms off, and let him die in a pile of stink bug poop and piss. The second one died next to him, I think they were lovers.

Recently I started finding stink bugs all over my room. They are kind of scary looking and at first I was killing them. But each time I killed them they let off a disgusting odor. So I did some research and found out what the hell I was killing. I googled "stink bug" because they were bugs and they were stinky. It turns out they are actually called stink bugs. They are basically harmless unless you are a farmer (they eat tomatoes and other vegetables). But the thought of them crawling on my head while I was sleeping didn't sit well with me.

I didn't want to kill them anymore. I felt like we could live in peace. So the other day I started collecting them in a plastic container. I poked put air holes and put in a peice of a bell pepper for them to eat. I collected five in about three days. They became a family.

I don't know if it was the rotting vegetable, but strange things started to collect in their house. Mushy yellow shit and a clear liquidy substance. At first they all got along real well but a couple days ago I found a stink bug leg minus a stink body. And then a dead stink bug. And then another dead stink bug. I haven't found any new bugs recently, but as soon as I do I will replace the dead stink bugs.

I kind of want to see if they eat the dead stink bugs. I'll keep you posted.
