We call them Stink Bugs over here...they give off a nasty odour when they are disturbed... And although I'm not completely certain..I believe they are a bug that can transport plant diseases. will have to check that out.

Found a site that said they (or other types of stink bug) are considered responsible for the "cat face" deformation of various fruits most commonly apples.

I think these are as much a Garden asset as Butterflies.. There are several diffedrent kinds, as far as I know niot likely to do serious harm to anyone or anything
