Stink Bugs


Stink bugs, it turns out, are probably going to be a huge agricultural problem in the not too distant future.  Here's a link from the University of Florida Entomology Department showing how to make a stink bug trap.   Actually, I'm thinking it may not have been squash bugs that destroyed the school pumpkin patch. They look pretty much alike unless you really stop to check them out.  Which I didn't.  
Hmmmmm. . .

They don't seem to like the nightshade family as they seem to have left the tomatoes and potatoes alone.  Good to know I guess.  Looks like the garden club has a new project!
