Hello from Idaho: @nickp

There's a lot of bugs with this body shape as there are a lot of Hemiptera around the world. Some of them are predatory beneficial insects. But most are obnoxious like the ones that move into our houses in fall to overwinter.
There's little ones that get on my blueberries and I have to be careful when I'm harvesting them.
More than once, I wasn't careful, threw a handful of berries in my mouth, and.... yuck! That taste doesn't easily go away.
In Africa, stink bugs are a significant food source for people. They even get sold on the market. I'm not that courageous due to my experience with them on my blueberries.

I forgot about voles. Its because of them I gave up on growing sweet potatoes. My main practice for voles is to not kill any snakes on my property if I can help it.

We're given up growing potatoes due to porcupines, they are bastards...

The Brown Marmorated stink bugs we get just crowd into any little spaces they can fit into, indoors, to over-winter. Hundreds of them. They really suck.
