Thanks for the info.... Is there any way to keep them out of the house, besides sealing all holes, which is a given. Is there a foundation spray or something? Is there any kind of homespun trap (like the famous fruit fly home trap? tinyurl.com/y8dm2mb9 ) I can use to get them out of the house? No Just vacuum them up if you must. Surely you don't have that many.

>>a bug, shield bug or stink bug. Hemiptera<< Really? I never see it near food or plants (mostly on curtains) I have never seen them fly. They seem pretty slow and rarely move unless I poke at them. How can I get rid of them? How can I keep them away? Thanks for your help! If you're in the northern hemisphere, they could be overwintering. Hence why they're slow. I apreciate and collect insects, so cannot advice you on how to rid of them. You're on your own there.

Its a bug, shield bug or stink bug. Hemiptera. They have a strawlike mouth and are harmless to humans. You must have a plant they are feeding on nearby and they must be walking or flying into your place.

The specimen is also missing it's entire right mid-leg from what I can tell. So who in their right mind would lay out boo-koo bucks for an imperfect un-spread specimen. This is just folly and somebody is going to bail out of the deal (either the seller or the buyer). Nope! That mid right leg is there. Just tucked under.

Seems like somebody is trying to make that eBay seller rich, or putting him out of business... www.ebay.com/itm/like/173225018746?vectorid=229466&lgeo=1&item=173225018746&rmvSB=trueWhen you sell on eBay you have to pay the commission of 10% on a monthly basis, therefore the seller currently would have to pay 2k to eBay. Later the buyer will not pay and the seller is stuck with eBay credit as eBay will not reimburse money on canceled transactions. An unexpected 2k payment can be more than enough to get a starting business into struggle. Therefore, it would be best for seller to cancel the item before end of bidding? Unless seller thinks he'll get the 9k which is unlikely.

Es una avispa!
That's a wasp. Pepsis sp. Are large wasps that hunt tarantulas. Maybe its something similar.

They are also found in the Australian outback (arid regions) where certain aboriginal peoples dig them up as sweet treats
