Yeap. I've seen them here in northern nevada. The smell isn't as bad as everyone says. I step on most bugs Immediately.

Pretty cool up close shot!

We have tons and tons of them in NY and while my GF says they are the worst smelling thing and has to cover up her nose I don't smell them at all

I usually pick them up and release them outside so I don't have to kill them

We have them in the mountains in Arizona too. I can usually pick them up like Pockets does and put them outside. I grab a hind leg. Sometimes, they put out the stink smell and other times they don't. I don't find the smell to be hideous, but it's unpleasant.

Great pictures again, Takeda.

Friggin hate those things around here. Throw one or two out a week from the house and smash with a brick.

Didn't it compromise the PCM; - truck began doing very strange things in traffic?

Maybe that was someone else?
