I think that's what it is too, a stink bug! Do they really give off a stink? Always wondered.

Shield bugs (aka Soldier bugs) and stink bugs are actually different families. Shield bugs predate on insects, such as stink bugs, whereas stink bugs predate on garden plants. http://hyg.ipm.illinois.edu/article.php?id=438
