Stink Bug
(03/07/2006) name that bug
Hey Bugman,
Found this guy in our house in southern Ontario, Canada in March. It's been a mild winter. What's that bug?
Thanks,

Hi Mark,
This is a Stink Bug. We believe it is in the genus Perillus. We will try to get an exact species name by contacting Eric Eaton. Here is Eric's input: " Yes, it is a Perillus sp., not sure which one. Could even still be the two-spotted, I would bet they are highly variable. Do check on bugguide and see if we have an image that matches. If not, we might like this one, too. Eric"
