Default Insects I have photographed in The Villages you may not see.

Both of these insects were on the fence posts, railing, alongside Belmont golf Course.

First is a Stink Bug.
Second is a Bagworm. Might wanna look this one up.

Oh no! Stink bugs are all over PA. When we had our apartment in Pittsburgh, you could open the door to the patio and they would fly in and hit you in the head. If you find one in your home, DO NOT kill it. That's what their name is all about. They stink when squashed. Gather it in a paper towel and flush it.

They are another foreign import pest that came by ship, I believe. We were starting to get them in west Michigan by the time we moved down here. I'm sorry to see they've made their way south.

They don't carry disease, but they are a royal PIA. They come bigger than that as well, Ale.
