Lovely but stinky Bug

The Shield/Stink Bug (Pycanum Rubens) may be a common bug but it was the first time I had come across it in the taman.  It was its lovely colours that stopped me in my tracks.  So I wanted to make sure that I got it from as many angles as possible.
This bug looked almost adorable with its leaf-shaped eyes, tiny head and banded rear ends, its appearance certainly belies its noxious characteristic, ie that stink bugs 'stink' when threatened.

"They get their name because when viewed from above, have a distinctive shield-like shape.  Shield bugs have glands in their thorax between the first and second pair of legs which produce a foul smelling liquid. This liquid is used defensively to deter potential predators and is sometimes released when the bugs are handled carelessly.  For this reason, they are also referred to as stink bugs."
