Stinkbugs!
Exterminators beware! The Bryn Mawr College library staff don't believe in killing bugs.
Recently, a family of stinkbugs (Brochymenas) came to live in the Canaday staff lounge. Rather than killing them, a nature-loving librarian gathered them up, put them in a jar, took them outside, and let them go free!
If you know the identity of this humanitarian staff member, post a comment!

Thank you so much "nature-loving librarian" I (and of course the bugs) truly appreciate it.
