if you missed this thread the first time around, I tried to ID the culprit (epistolary insect taxonomy!) bsky.app/profile/amer...
If I had to hazard a guess re: the identity of the Stink Beetle, I suppose one of the obvious suspects would be Nomius pygmaeus, the stink beetle bugguide.net/node/view/20...
Species Nomius pygmaeus - Stink Beetle
An online resource devoted to North American insects, spiders and their kin, offering identification, images, and information.

Love the message that "we all break bugs" - important to emphasis!
Curious what's on everyone's insect pinning playlist?🤔 #ECN2025

to say nothing of the extraordinary Oskar Vogt, Nazi-hating socialist and neurobiologist who maintained a suspiciously large staff of entomologists and bumblebee collectors. He is pictured here holding a slice of Lenin’s brain.
