I found this little beetle on my shirt the other day. I’ve not been able to find it by shape or color, and there are SO MANY beetles. I live in Seattle. thanks in advance for your help–your site is amazing!

Hi terre,
We are trying to piece together the various components of your submissions into one posting. Interestingly, we also responded to you with a short generic Stink Bug reply to your photo submission. The Nasty Reader was from the UK, and we believe your Stink Bug is Banasa dimiata which according to BugGuide is: “Reported from the entire United States, southern Canada and northern Mexico.”
