I watched this fight go on for at least 10 minutes, would win. The Stinkbug ran up and down the milkweed plant as it sucked the juice out of the caterpillar. I wondered if this behavior added spice, or if the Stinkbug was afraid I would steal its meal.
About predatory stink bugs:
- Unlike their other stink bug relatives like brown marmorated stink bugs, predatory stink bugs are a gardener’s friend, feeding on more than 100 species of insect pests.
- Both nymphs and adults attack insects larger than themselves, and suck the body fluids from their prey with a needle-like beak.
- Predatory stink bugs tend to have a shorter, stouter beak than the long, thin beak of plant-feeding stink bugs.
- Adults overwinter in sheltered locations and leaf litter, emerging in early spring to stalk and devour their prey.
