Hello! Haven't had too many problems with pests this outdoor grow besides the occasional chewed up leaf. I've been finding these guys quite often (pictured below) and the closest thing I can find to them are the brown stink bug, or the spined soldier beetle.
Both are almost identical but the soldier beetle is a predator of soft bodied caterpillars (gods work). I held him for a bit and was kind of smelling for the tell tale stink that they release when threatened.
I was wondering what are your thoughts? Was I sniffing a stink bug or a spined soldier beetle? Haha.
Thanks
