Playing With The Camera: The Stink Bug
I was looking at my insect photos again and just came across a cool stink bug (or shield bug, whichever you like to call it) that I photographed this summer. In my area we have lots of the green ones, we call them *βρωμούσες (vro - mʊ - ses)* meaning "stinkers" (or something like that whatsoever).

### Our protagonist today is a member of the [Pentatomoidea](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatomoidea) family

### Even though it stinks, it has such beautiful colors and it looks kind of cute

### Can you spare another minute?

1) @steemstem has now got a witness running, the **[@stem.witness](https://steemit.com/steemstem/@steemstem/announcing-a-steemstem-witness-and-seed-node)**! We would really appreciate your vote. And you can always check out our cool app, **[steemstem.io](https://www.steemstem.io/)**, a place where awesome STEM content waits for you to discover it!
In case you want to support us a little more, here are some convenient delegation links for you: [50SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=50%20SP) | [100SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=100%20SP) | [500SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=500%20SP) | [1000SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=1000%20SP) | [5000SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=5000%20SP) | [10000SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=steemstem&vesting_shares=10000%20SP).

2) **@aristotle.team** is the child of the Greek translation team (working for @davinci.witness and @utopian-io). We support Utopian contributions with our curation trail and @dimitrisp is developing a new app for the team to use as a workload managing tool.
If you have some spare beans *(id est SP)*, Aristotle and his team would really appreciate your help! Here are some quick delegation links to make things easier: [10SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=10%20SP) | [20SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=20%20SP) | [50SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=50%20SP) | [100SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=100%20SP) | [200SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=200%20SP) | [500SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=500%20SP) | [1000SP](https://steemconnect.com/sign/delegateVestingShares?delegator=&delegatee=aristotle.team&vesting_shares=1000%20SP).

Εεεεετσι ρε συ! Άμα οι άνθρωποι έχουν κοινές ανησυχίες, φαίνεται! 😂😂

Δεν το είχα πάρει χαμπάρι το ποστ όταν βγήκε 😞 Άρα αυτά τα κουκλάκια θα μεγαλώσουν και θα γίνουν σιχαμερά και πρασινωπά, σαν τον Grinch ένα πράμα;

Στον κήπο, Κατερίνα! Στον κήπο! 😝
Σύμφωνα με τον @funnel, αυτό είναι ένα από τα στάδια της μεταμόρφωσης. Άρα μάλλον το γλυκούλι που βλέπεις εδώ θα γίνει βρωμερούλι και πράσινο!

Jumping are my favorites! They look so silly-cute! 
Tarantulas, huh? Don't you get goosebumps when you hold them?
