I almost ate a stink bug!

I am quite sure that no one else ever eats berries straight from the bush whilst watering their garden. Oh, you do? Well just be more careful than I was this morning.

I was watering (eating) raspberries quite happily when I put a few in my mouth. They did not taste like berries so I rapidly removed them and silently screamed when I realized there was a bug among the berries. See attached pic. Apparently a stink bug and fortunately NOT poisonous.

I am fine though will be a bit off of raspberries for awhile. Said bug appeared fine and is roaming the grass no doubt about to boast of his brave adventure with his bug buddies tonight.

In case you are wondering, he tasted minty.

Cheers!
