Put a paper towel flat on a table (long side left to right, if you have a half size towel). Take your pointer finger and thumb on each hand, and touch the left thumb to the bottom left corner of the towel, left pointer to the top left, and mirror on the right hand. Keeping the left-right length of towel taut, slowly pinch both hands. From the side view, the towel's center will rise on the left-right axis (the U-shape). Finish pinching to complete the motion.
The bug's center of gravity is above the feet, so it turns out that as long as you keep the paper towel taut, the body is lifted and it quickly attaches its feet to the towel.
At what point in this process does the bug get on the paper towel?
You are imagining the towel coming from underneath. They are describing the towel coming from above.
Imagine the stink bug is on the ceiling and reread the instructions.
When you pinch the ends. You're effectively bending the two-dimensional space of the paper towel into three dimensional space encompassing the bug.
I fucking give up trying to get you to make any sense.
I believe they mean using the paper towel as tweezers. You fold it in half and use the 2 touching brims to pick up the bug, while only putting force by pulling the corners away from each other.
Sounds like... You gave up on you? It's really not important information, but I tried.
