Day 179: Stink Bugs

This year, Mr. E and I have noticed a new type of critter lingering on our windows and the patio door.  These bugs look like flat little leaves and are rather motionless most of the time:

I've also had some of these visitors on my office window, and today, I discovered a stowaway at the bottom of my light-blocking blinds inside my office.  How do they get in?!

One of my colleagues identified these beasties as stink bugs, also known as shield bugs, which makes perfect sense given their size and shape.  They're really not harmful to us, but they are annoying.  Luckily, due to their lack of movement, they're also pretty darn easy to catch and dispose of.
