    I just noticed several of these crawling around on my lilac leaves and branches. What are they? What do I do to get rid of them? Thanks anyone!

    The upshot, though, is that they're not really hurting your lilacs.

    Thanks everyone. Yes, I agree - the green stink bug! I'm happy to hear that it doesn't hurt my lilacs. The more I look at this little critter, I think he's actually quite pretty. Ugggh - "Did I say that"?

    Nothing wrong with thinking bugs are pretty. Nothing at all.
