Oooooh itchy itchy!

Last night we swam after supper. When I got out, I felt a slight discomfort around my left boob. When I took off my swimsuit, this fell out (WARNING: IT IS A BUG!)

I didn't scream. I just looked at it and thought, "Huh. That bug bit my boobie!"

Before I could scoop it up and study it, my husband had grabbed the bug with a Kleenex and sent it on its final voyage down the toilet.

The spot where the bug had fallen from was sore for awhile, and by the time I went to bed, I had a nice, firmish, red welt on my boob. I was convinced I was going to die from the bite of this strange creature.

I got up this morning (obviously not dead) and Googled "green bugs". I found the picture on Google images and followed the links to the original site. Turns out my boobie biting friend is a stink bug. Weird, 'cause I thought his odor was a bit like freshly mowed lawn. Not a bit stinky at all.
