We had just checked in to Blandy's Wine Lodges in downtown Funchal, next to the Municipal Garden. It is an old building refurbished to e.g. four apartments, a restaurant, a wine museum etc.

Our apartment was on the top 3rd floor, with windows both to the garden, and to the inner courtyard.

The Halyomorpha was inside the apartment, on eye level, on a vertical window sill. The window was one of those facing the courtyard. From that window, there is only few meters to the red brick roof of the building.

While I took some close-up photos, the Halyomorpha started to fly. It landed on the wooden floor, from where we grabbed it, opened the window, and let it go. With hindsight, I'm not sure whether this was the correct thing to do...

One theory is that the cleaning personnel had kept one or maybe several windows open during the cleaning session, and the Halyomorpha had flown in then. But of course we cannot know for sure.
