I was typing on my computer just now when I felt a twinge of pain on my right pinky finger - I looked over and was scared out of my wits when I saw it was practically covered by this huge, fat bug. In my fright I injured it and managed to take several photos.
If you know what bug this is, and what any effects of being bitten by one is, please let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Look like brown marmorated stink bugs, an introduced species that is becoming a serious orchard pest. Any 'bite' should be of no consequence...

Thank you for your quick reply and the link! My mind is set at ease. :)
It's also really cool to find out the reason why no one in my family has seen this critter before!
