   Val George writes:  Yesterday, Oct 13, this rough stink bug was on one of my window frames at my house in Oak Bay.  Looks like a species of Brochymena to me  [me, too, Jeremy];  my best guess is B. affinis [mine, too – J].  But then, what do I know? [At least as much as I do – J]

Probably Brochymena affinis (Hem.: Pentatomidae)  Val George
