Description
Pentatomoidea is a superfamily of insects in the Heteroptera suborder of the Hemiptera order, which are commonly referred to as shield bugs or stink bugs. Shield bugs have glands in their thorax between the first and second pair of legs which produce a foul smelling liquid. This liquid is used defensively to deter potential predators and is sometimes released when the bugs are handled carelessly. The distinctive smell comes from aldehydes such as CH3–(CH2)2–CH=CH–CHO, and is chemically similar to pheromones. Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropoda Class: Insecta Order: Hemiptera Infraorder: Pentatomomorpha Superfamily: Pentatomoidea

Description
Lithograph poster circa 1900 by Strobridge Lithograph Company advertising William H West's Big Minstrel Jubilee show. Minstrel shows consisted of comic skits, variety acts, dancing and music which were often performed by white people in blackface. They lampooned black Americans and tended to portray them as ignorant, lazy, superstitious and buffoonish – perpetuating the racist stereotype of the uneducated, always cheerful and highly musical black person. Minstrel shows grew up in the 1830s with white working class men dressing up as plantation slaves and survived as professional entertainment until the early years of the twentieth century. In their heyday the shows were famous and respectable but they are now regarded by many as a racist and shameful era in American popular entertainment.

Description
Coccinellidae is a family of beetles, known variously as ladybirds (UK, Ireland, Australia, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, South Africa, New Zealand, India, Malta, some parts of Canada and the US), or ladybugs (North America). Scientists increasingly prefer the names ladybird beetles or lady beetles as these insects are not true bugs. Lesser-used names include God's cow, ladyclock, lady cow, and lady fly. Coccinellids are small insects, ranging from 1 mm to 10 mm (0.04 to 0.4 inches), and are commonly yellow, orange, or scarlet with small black spots on their wing covers, with black legs, head and antennae. A very large number of coccinellid species are mostly, or entirely, black, grey, or brown and may be difficult for non-entomologists to recognize as coccinellids. Conversely, there are many small beetles that are easily mistaken for coccinellids, such as the tortoise beetles

Description
Dung beetles play an important part in the removal and breakdown of dung and the recycling of nutrients into the soil. Dung beetles and their larvae generally feed on faecal material from a large number of herbivorous animals, although the extent of their relationship with dung depends on whether they are "rollers", "tunnelers" or "dwellers". Rollers are probably the best known group of dung beetles: male and female cooperatively roll a ball of dung away from a manure pat before burying it. Tunnelers on the other hand bury the dung underneath the dung pat, while dwellers neither roll nor bury dung, but live in the manure. The dung beetles intimate relationship with manure means that they play a great part in the breakdown of dung and the recycling of nutrients back into the soil, therefore improving soil structure and fertility. In fact, dung beetles also reduce the number of breeding sites for flies and other pests by removing dung pats - this is thought to be of special importance in agricultural systems, where farm livestock such as cattle could otherwise be infested. In fact, many countries have introduced dung beetles in order to reduce populations of potentially harmful insect pests. In Australia, for example, populations of the bush fly Musca vetustissima have been reduced by 80% following dung beetle introductions. In the United States, it has been estimated that dung beetles save the cattle industry just short of $400million annually by removing and recycling livestock faeces.

Description
Eurydema dominulus Family: Pentatomidae Species of Eurydema are dramatically coloured, usually red and black bugs, but often with other colour morphs. E. dominulus is usually red overlain with dark markings and is distinctly smaller than E. ornatum, which can show similar markings. This bug overwinters as an adult, emerging in the spring. Larvae may be found May-July on a range of hostplants in the Brassicaceae, inlcuding Cuckoo flower and Lesser swine cress. A very scarce species found in woodland rides in parts of southern England. Most records are from Kent and Sussex.
