I found a new-to-me species of Stink Bug yesterday, so I decided to write a journal post listing all the Stink Bug taxa which I have observed so far. That includes seven observations from here in NYC, two from California, and three from Nevis, West Indies. A few of them are ID'ed only to the genus level.

The observations are listed here in chronological order, but I have only listed the first observation of each of the species, not any subsequent observations of the same taxon, except where the ID is only to the genus level.

2023, Sunday 1st October, on Governors Island on vegetation in the moat of Fort Jay.
I found two species:

Hymenarcys nervosa, no common name

and
Euschritus tristigmus, the Dusky Stink Bug
https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/185820246

.
2023, a Spined Soldier Bug, apparently came home with me, maybe off of some vegetation around the school on Madison Avenue between 81st and 82nd.
