Stink bugs rain down on Estonian island
11/ 09/ 2007
TALLIN, September 11 (RIA Novosti) - Ruhnu, a small Estonian island in the Gulf of Riga, in the Baltic Sea, has been deluged by a rain of stink bugs, the Eesti Paevaleht newspaper said Tuesday. The freakish shower occurred early Monday, and by morning downtown streets were teeming with red and brown bugs with green bellies diffusing an unpleasant smell.
"In the lamplight, you could see bugs falling from the sky, shaking the leaves," the newspaper quoted a local woman as saying.
Although stink bugs are able to fly, they are unlikely to have made it to the island under their own power, and were probably swept there by strong winds. Stink bugs, or shield bugs, produce a foul smelling liquid used as a means of defense.

Aja, my sis & bro-in-law have problems with Maple bugs, which aren't too different. They found that a little dish detergent in water sprayed on the walls kills them. Of course, you still have a mess to clean up...

There was no time for social niceties, table manners or even a please and thank you. When little pigs insist on stopping for lunch, there's nothing much a mother on the move can do. This sow and her litter had been roaming the New Forest in Hampshire when the youngsters decided it was time to tuck in. Rather than battle the might of a half dozen little squealers, she pulled up in the middle of the road and let them have lunch. Motorists were forced to wait, with tailbacks stretching along the road. Roaming pigs are a common sight this time of year as the pannage season gets under way, an ancient custom which allows pig farmers to turn their animals on to Crown land for up to 60 days of grazing.
"The sow was feeding her piglets in the middle of the road and there was no way of moving her," said Bernie Bedford, a local doctor who took the picture. Dr Bedford, of Hythe, near Southampton, said: "I was driving along the B3079 Bramshaw to Landford road when I turned a bend and suddenly saw this amazing sight. Local radio even broadcast a warning that the pigs were a traffic hazard on that road. Cars had to carefully crawl around her but it wasn't easy."
------------------
Are these wild pigs or is the farmer an idiot and let's his animals run amok?
