A visitor in my garden.

I was taking a walk in the garden, and since it was nice and sunny, I decided to read a little when suddenly I heard a small buzzing sound. I continued reading, but every couple of minutes I heard that slightly unpleasant buzzing sound again. Well, no, but since I was reading, it distracted me. So I paid a little more attention and I stumbled upon this tiny little fellow.

It's a Leptoglossus occidentalis, or so Google Images says. I actually think they're right. From what I've read, the buzzing sound is normal. Although it shouldn't be here because it's an invasive species in Europe. Apparently, it's a parasite of pine trees, and that makes sense because we're full of white pines here.
According to what he says, if it gets angry, it gives off an unpleasant smell. Luckily, I didn't bother it too much; I just stole a photo, and it didn't get angry. After the photo, he decided to fly away and left me with my reading as well as an anecdote to tell.
