8-15 Canada Goldenrod, Twice-stabbed Stink bugs

8-15 Dry open places are home to Canada goldenrod, one of 34 goldenrods listed in my field guides.

A pair of Twice-stabbed Stink bugs (Cosmopepla lintneriana) fed on White Hemp Nettle. Although feeding on a variety of plants, they are often found on Mullein. If handled stink bugs may indeed stink. John
