Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

do shield bugs bite?

Out in the garden today, felt a painful bite on my arm and was surprised to find the culprit was a large, smooth, green bug. Looked like a big shield bug, I didn't think they bit? How mean.

I've never been bitten by one, and I've had them crawling alover my hands.

Being feeders on fruits and leaves their mouth parts are not really strong enough to bite us.
