I caught a stinkbug! It lives up to its name!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  I daresay the name says it all... Stinkbugs are known for their strench. Hoo! Peeyew!

 As it happens, these crop-eating pests use straw-like mouths to pierce plants and drink the juices.

 And when threatened, they use a smelly chemical in their belly to release their odious odor!

 Hoo! How DO they live with themselves?
