A small group of shield bugs with what looked like smiling faces on their armour has been found in a local garden by a 10-year old boy last Thursday.
The tiny shield bugs, or stink bugs as they are generally called, do not usually go to towns but inhabit tropical forests and feed on sap from plants.
The stink bugs were first seen by Satawat Huanaworn. He was playing in his aunt’s garden in Kittawee Runreung Village, north of central Pattaya, when he saw the group of five insects on some flowers.
