hahahahah!!! That's tooooooo funny!! I have no idea about the mama caring for her babies!! If so, then I suppose you'll be responsible for raising baby stink bugs!! LUCKY YOU!! :)
LarryGraziano
thanks Sarah. I think you may be right. This exact stink bug from this other spotting of mine was hanging around that area for two days: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/8506182 do you think they care for their young? In any case the eggs haven't hatched and I suspect one of my dogs ate the "mother".

Great spotting ICN !! - I hope you don't mind us referring to you as ICN much easier to type, especially because your spottings are really interesting and people would want to comment - or, would you prefer Ig ?? :)
SarahWhitt
Cool! They look like little painted ceramic beads! I, with SmallWonders, would guess the ICN is simply your initials....
Small Wonders
Yes, please keep us updated... It would be great to see the emerged life form! ... I would guess ICN is an abbreviation for IgCostaNut :)
Mark Ridgway
Wonder what they are. It'll be interesting to watch these develop. Keep us updated ICN.
