I'm having a low-level infestation of this odd bug in my utility room. Any idea what they are?
Thanks,

What is this bug?
Seems like nobody here has any ideas, you might try the Bug ID forum instead. I bet someone there will recognize it
If you find out, can you let me know. It looks identical to one I see in my greenhouse and my house. It doesn't seem to do any damage in the GH.

Check this link out. I don't think they're our gardening pals.
Eeew, I mean phew. I don't think those are what I have. Mine are only about 1/8 - 1/4 inch long.
That looks like the stink bug. A way to find out is to smash it and if it smells like a garbage dump, it's a stink bug. Believe me, they REALLY stink!
They bite into the fruits of Tomatoes and other veggies leaving a small hole.
