I had never seen one before, so I took a photo and came here to see if I could identify it.

A lot of people used to call them stink bugs (because of the odor when squished) but, now that we have the even more common brown marmorated stink bug coming into the house in the winter, most people have learned this is not that. (The other two winter house bugs here are box elder bugs and multicolored Asian lady beetles.)Sara Rallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16016881952044341477noreply@blogger.com
