This is a stink bug

[84superchamp]

In a 'script bottle. Air tight and it's still alive after 12 hours. Will keep you posted.

In the meantime, I'd like to take it to my lab, cross it with a Portland demonstrator and come up with a Super Stink Bug with double the stink and screams nonsense.

We have what we call "stink bugs" that live on citrus trees... especially lemon trees. Is that the same type?

[EDIT] Apparently not according to AI...

I've never seen them outside on plants, etc. Always in the fall when it starts getting chilly and they find their way inside somehow.

Our ones can blind you if they squirt you in the eye. They are especially stinky too.

Damn!
That script bottle works great, hold the open bottle below the bug and tap it into the bottle with the cap and cap it quick, hardly any smell. If you get that stink on you (I'm sure you know this) it just spreads...whatever you touch is tainted.

I'm tippin' the bug will last at least a week in the sealed bottle.

Oxygen will be the limiting factor of course, not food.

of course, it's Australia; where nearly everything can severely hurt or kill you.

any encounters with jack jumpers / bulldog ants?

24 hours later with no oxygen, he's still alive.
I do believe insects will inherit the earth.

Plot twist: That bottle is from a Viagra script, and 84 is gonna wake up in the middle of the night with a 7 foot tall stinkbug with a hard on, ready to make him feel special.

Yes, why is it the bugs and snakes are so dangerous in Australia? Those brown snakes are terrifying and extremely lethal. How do they survive there? I would be scared to let my kids go outside.

Absolutely they are basically like a wingless wasp. One got me - it was really painful. Most people here call them bull ants.

I see more posts on social media about snakes from Americans about snakes in America.

Just curious, have you ever seen a brown snake? Are they really as common as the TV shows claim?

Yes I've seen one... but common - well maybe if you knew where to find one but ones you actually come across - not really. I actually live within a national park and walk in there every day. I might see a dangerous snake maybe once every couple of years.

Let's say by common they aren't an endangered species.

So they aren't just hanging out in people's gardens or garages like I heard from the shows. That's a relief.

I've only had one close experience with a poisonous snake, a water moccasin. As a kid in Eastern Ky and living in Appalachian boondocks we would dam up a creek to make a swimming hole. We were in it one day when we noticed that snake about 5-6 ft away in the water and swimming. It didn't go after us and we got out quick.
Funny that the only poisonous snakes in that area, including copperheads, would actually go after people.

I didn't want to reveal it but it's actually penis reducer. I'm tired of buying tailor-made underwear.

You wear golf clubs for underwear? That's gotta make you sit funny.

They can... and it's happened to my Grandmother as I recall when she was alive at her house but it's never happened to me personally. It's fairly uncommon without being totally rare...

I reckon it's about as common as it happens to you in the US.

My brother has had some rather larger pythons around his chicken coop but they aren't dangerous and he lives on acreage in Queensland.
