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.

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.
 
well yesterday when reloading the van still turned up 3 dead ones so 2 bombs last night just to be on the safe side we never really kept count but there was a lot
 
Well 11 days into our trip with no signs of dead or live BUGS until now just had one land on the door frame an we are at Molinet 1500 hrs
 
It's taken us over 2 years to finally get rid of them since our French trip in 2022!
They get into the most inaccessible places and surface when you least expect it!
