We had a load of bugs that looked like that a few years ago, but there was no stink. Would it have been something different we had?
 
I don't think we crushed any, we just threw them out if alive or vacuumed them up if dead.
 
Harlequin ladybirds can be another nuisance. We came back from a walk some years ago to find hundreds on our vehicle and loads crawling inside as we had left a few windows open.

Window open = flyscreen deployed.
 
Just found a live one after coming back from Europe in November
You'll be lucky if he was on his own We found one then another an so on final count 20+ luckily They don't appear to bite or sting an I've not seen one fly but don't they stink when you swat one. Anyone know how they breed we've found sticky/furry stuff in corners with what appears to be young ones waiting to hatch

I've seen and heard them fly - quite a distinctive sound.
