What is up with those bugs?

A few months ago you may remember I found spider webs in my parts kept in the -80C (-112F) freezer.
Today I opened the freezer to do a test and a stink bug crawled out!
At least I know what the spider was eating!

to your attempts to build evil powerful robot freezers by evolving super bugs that can withstand whatever the robot freezers can dish out. Remember, no matter what happens, there will always be cockroaches..

there will always be cockroaches

and stink-bugs too, apparently.

As "fragile" as they're written to be, they seem to stand up to a lot of abuse. We had one get [accidentally] spray-painted green, and managed to survive for a few weeks. We've had others get flicked and swatted around and still kept going. One or two seemed attracted to strips of exposed foam-tape adhesive, and would get stuck trying to walk across a strip. That one managed to survive a few days.

Graphx-Gone seems to work pretty well on them after a minute or two...As well as one's shoe. :b

Stink bugs will survive the apocalypse.
