Stink bugs!

Holy crap! Stink bugs have invaded my tent! They're *everywhere*!

In my clothes. Crawling around the floor and walls. Up on the ceiling. Especially on the ceiling. They tuck themselves in between the tent frame and canvas. They're inside my kerosene lantern. Inside of it, damnit!

I've almost eaten them on several occasions. Picked them out of my food in the nick of time. Bastards!

I really hate stink bugs. I thought the ticks were bad in the spring, but I would gladly trade. I even prefer mice to these bugs.


I went to the laundromat today and started pulling my clothes out of the basket to load into the washer. I'd see a stink bug here and there and shake my clothes out and when I was done I looked down and there were dozens of them just crawling around at my feet. Embarrassing. People probably thought I lived in a tent or something :)

      I sure will!

      They really like my ceiling. I suppose that's because it's warm up there. And since it's a pitched canvas ceiling it's easy for them to walk around up there. I get the occasional little drip of fluid from them as they spread their scent all over my stuff...and me!
