  Wiki says that they aren’t a pest and rather eat organic debris. Sounds quite nice actually!

    I would rather them not be in the house, but i did look them up at one point so i just get annoyed, they don’t get treated to the can of bug death.

    The ones where I’m from are often over an inch long, and can spray kinda like a skunk. They’re good for the local ecosystem and they’re mostly harmless, but you definitely don’t want them in your house. If you want to look them up I think the most common name is desert stink beetle.

      If the ones I get can spray, they don’t, so not a concern for me.

        They’re not particularly trigger happy with their spray, so it mostly happens if you have a pet that finds them before you do. If you just take them outside in a jar or shoo them out the door with a broom you’re usually fine. A dog with stank face is no fun though.

      I’m probably biased because insects fascinate me :D
