This is a very common and quite pesty Brown Marmorated Stink Bug. I found this one yesterday afternoon and brought it in for a focus stacking session. I've done many with them in the past and I find them to be quite interesting in their own way.

The proboscis is quite long so it would not fit in the full frame of view at this magnification. I've bitten into apples that appear to have a bruise many times and I now wonder how many of them were actually the result of a stink bug probing them to dissolve it and suck it up for their meal before I had mine.

Each time I look at one staged like this I see a second face that appears to be smiling at me. Look at the two primitive eyes (Ocelli) on the top of its head and the two ridges coming down to where they join the proboscis and the shape of head makes it look like a second face that is smiling. Well, at least it make me smile
