Gary isn't a bad stinkbug name, but if its laying eggs then wouldn't it be a female stinkbug?


from stinkbugsmackdown.com -
"This is the time where their numbers begin to multiply exponentially, as a single female stink bug can lay up to 400 eggs over the course of a summer"

Starting to think thats not a Brown marmorated stink bug, as they have distinct white bands on their antennae.

also I have spent roughly 15% of my work day reading on stink bugs, related shield bugs, and the superfamily Pentatomoidea in general.

But it looks to be some sort of stinkbug

i think we decided she was probably a shield bug actually

Adult shield bugs are attractive insects, easily characterised by their flatish oval or five-sided shield shape (the pentatomids). They are often called stink bugs because when threatened, some species produce a pungent liquid from special glands near their hind legs (poke one and then sniff your hand). - Royal Entomological Society

Same thing essentially

It's relatively inexpensive to have Gary immortalized in a paperweight.

And I think its the right thing to do.
