Brown Marmorated Stink Bug

Brown marmorated stink bug Two days of doing battle with this invading army. Two days searching out to find where is their hidden lair. Two days capturing dozens upon dozens of these onerous soldiers. Two days the battles raged on behind and on the front of my curtains. Two days trying to wash off the vile stink, their defensive, smelly weapon Two days, my weapon, wads of toilet paper, picking them off, down the toilet Day two, in an attempt, searching for mercy ?, from the killer, this brave warrior. Day two, two dispirit soldiers, the last two I hope, came to me and landed on my left leg, as if they were pleading, in a last ditch effort, for their lives, the sword struck, in the toilet. B.
