I've never heard of insects having a smell, other than like stinkbugs!

Wait are u telling me bugs don’t smell to you?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 year ago

neither to me, I think. Truth is, I never tried sniffing an ant, I'll sniff them up.

I don’t remember ever smelling a bug either, unless it was a stink bug

I can smell roaches but that's it.

I don't smell stinkbugs, either... Apparently that's also genetic.

But have you smelled ladybugs? Absolutely foul.

I've never actually smelled a stinkbug, now that I think of it. I catch and release by hand for my house without issue. Never noticed a ladybug smell either. Interesting!
