I think their alternative name, "Stinky beetle," is much more fitting.

LOL Yep! They actually have a long aka list. They are even called soldier bugs.

They are gorgeous! They are hard to find unless they wander to a porchlight like this one!

Yes, they do give off an odor that lingers. Often you can be eating berries and taste and smell the scent.Β The adults and nymphs have glands on the underside of their body. They discharge large amounts of a pungent liquid when disturbed. The liquid will get on the berries when they are feeding, and it dries on the berries. It isn't really discouraging to us, however it is a very recognisable taste once you know what it is.

They are native to the US, and more common east of the Rocky Mountains. Although there have been reports of them being found in Pakistan now.
