    1. Hehe, did not sniff it, not sure if it really smells :) I think in dutch they are called "stinkwants". Posted 13 years ago
  2. Howdy,
    This is NOT Rhaphigaster nebulosa, but Pentatoma rufipes (4th instar nymph).
    Please remove/add tags accordingly so the images may be displayed in the correct galleries :o)
