Steph,
It's a Leaf-Footed Stinkbug. I have intimate personal knowledge of the bad, bad, bad, bad bug....

Carminator1 and I have been discussing on the "Pyrethrum for Stinkbugs" thread, how to eradicate them in the garden, 'cause they wreak havoc on the tomatoes.

I've been toying around with using a potpourri/sachet bag over the tomatoes next season to see if it will stop them from piercing the fruit. They can dance all over the plant, if they want to. But, as long as they can't pierce a tomato, they can't ruin a tomato!

Here's what I'm referring to.
