Stink Bugs Stink

Some are our friends, and some are not. The green ones and some of the brown ones suck the juices out of plants with a piercing probiscis, wounding the plant and lowering yields. I think these are brown stink bugs, Euschistus servus. One appeared to be sucking on the sunflower plant shown here. I disposed of them after the photo.
