One day one landed on my shoulder and without realizing it was there I squashed it.....yeah....right on my own shoulder. Splat. It smelled like pine. I can`t seem to identify them properly and ever since they showed up in this area about 10 years ago, I`ve been wondering what they were. They are about an inch long.
The ceiling is finally finished and I decided to stain the boards up there brown to match the ones in the front room. Not sure whether to put all the baskets back up. They are such dust collectors, but maybe. Pictures will follow when it`s all finished. Wallpaper stripping needs doing and thinking about the walls, and then actually doing it all.

Hi there Thanks for visiting my blog, Your's is great, I will drop by again to visit.
Good day to you Tea. I don't know what your bug is - all I know is that you can keep it!! Sorry!
Did you know there are more species of beetle than any other type of animal? In fact, there are more species of beetle than all the other species of animal put together. By a lot. Freaky Huh?
I did some research for you.
The Western conifer seed bug (Leptoglossus occidentalis) was first observed in Connecticut in 1985. Its original range was confined to the western third of North America along the Rocky Mountain chain. It was first identified in 1910 and has since, expanded its range eastward. The insect is a household nuisance because it has the habit of entering buildings to over winter as adults. When in a building, it will not feed or cause damage to fabrics, woods or any other articles within the home. It is simply using the home for shelter from cold weather.
ew.
*tryin not to pass out*
EEEEEEEWWWWWWWW!!!!!!
bugs and me don't mix...he's especially ugly...how are you lately?
Thanks for the info SombraKnight! This bug has been driving me crazy trying to figure out what he is.
We've been getting a lot of 'stink" bugs lately. i think they are also known as "squash bugs". They stink when you squash them, but since I try not to do that, I am not sure what they smell like when squashed!
I, too thought it looked like a stink bug, but since you said it smelled like pine, Sombraknight's assessment sounds bang-on.
