BUT Bryan!! Does this mean that this same compound secreted by stink
bugs that is the "main flavor component of cilantro" is the same exact
compound which make stink bugs stink, which I'm sure is your inference
knowing your distaste for cilantro! Or could it be that the stink of
stink bugs is due to an entirely unrelated to cilantro compound?
