Smelly Bugs

Khaki or bright green beetles about the size of a one pence piece with shield-shaped shells and an underside that looks like the scuttling hand-type creature from Alien. They try to get inside at every opportunity and fly haphazardly so they’re constantly bumping into you. You can’t squash them because they give off a horrible smell – and I suspect they’d crunch anyway – but they’re lethargic and very slow-witted so you can deal with them easily enough. After you’ve flicked them off the window or door, they’ll sit there for a few minutes pondering what the hell’s just happened to them.
