That? That is a windows-key. Horrible thing!

But seriously: already answered, but I'd like to know where you're from? These lil shitheads were suddenly all over here (Germany), like an infestation.

looks like it, probably got in while my window was open yesterday

As far as I know they're mostly harmless, but they will emit an unpleasant smell if disturbed, hence the name. Vacuuming them up works reasonably well.

I dislike them because they put holes in my peaches before they ripen.
