This is my entry for the daily #monomad challenge

On this post, I want to share some interesting macro photos again, this time the object is a stink bug. While hunting for insects yesterday, I held my macro lens close to this stinky insect and then it flew away, while releasing a smelly liquid towards my macro lens. Because I was a little annoyed after cleaning the lens, I went back to look for this swarm of stink bugs and managed to find them again with several photos that I managed to capture.

The stink bug that I am sharing is known as the giant leaf-footed, as the name suggests, this stink bug is indeed larger than other types of stink bugs. Maybe even the biggest. In addition, stink bugs are also pests for plants because they eat (suck) plant sap with their needle-like mouths.
