I went for a monarch butterfly and all I got was this lousy stink bug.

Spider outside my kitchen window; I think it's got a stinkbug wrapped up. If you know what kind of spider it is, I'd love to know!

This little Jumping Spider has an awesome sized meal. I think it might have been a stinkbug?

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.

Too bad about the common name and their destructive eating habits; they're really quite pretty.

Just put up in 2006, that's why I hadn't heard.

Stinkbugs Soccer - Fall 2019

Stinkbugs are so named because they can secrete a foul smelling chemical as a defense mechanism. Most of them are herbivores and considered pests by the agriculture industry becuase of they damage they cause to crops. This species is specific to Texas and Mexico but has recently made it's way into Florida as well.

Spring is proceeding nicely. Greenery is emerging & bugs are starting to buzz. Easter afternoon, we visited Thompson Pond in Pine Plains, New York, USA (April 8, 2012), to see what we could see.
