The local species of squash bugs. They're a lot like stink bugs, when you disturb them they emit what's commonly described as "a foul odor". Except that foul odor in this species smells like a super concentrated artificial tutti-frutti bubble gum scent to me. It's overpowering to the point that it almost burns your nostrils at first, but it fades super quickly and doesn't linger like regular awful stink bug smell.
