I have four monitors attached to my computer. The center one is my primary. The left one is secondary, usually with a browser open in it. The right one displays my security cameras, and the fourth, which is somewhat unreliable, stays dark unless I want to display radar data when it’s stormy,
My computer workstation
I was concentrating on the center screen while I was editing a bunch of photos. From time to time, I’d glance at the webcam screen to see what was going on around the house.
When I shifted my gaze to the left screen, I saw that my monitor was infected with a bug. A stink bug, no less.
Despite all of the warnings, I quickly dispatched it with a tissue. I gave him a squeeze, but must not have triggered his stink.
First seen in Pennsylvania
The bugs came from Asia, and were first reported in Pennsylvania in the late 1990s, although I’m sure I remember them from when I was a kid.
They must be hiding from the cold because I spotted three more in various places in the house.
