An ushikamemushi, or bull stink bug in Japanese, was perched on a oleaster tree at the edge of the forest. This is the first time I've seen one at this time of year. The temperature was below 10 degrees Celsius and it was moving slowly. There are so many species of stink bugs that have adapted to different environments, and it is very interesting to see some of them with horns and other unusual shapes like this one.
