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

      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!
