Ooh, too bad! All of the families of true bug but one have scent glands that allow them to excrete smelly compounds to ward off potential predators, but some are stinkier than others.

Yeah, unfortunately I've got an infestation and what's worse is it's got a pungent odour

Wow, cool bug. Very different from the ones we have in North America.
