Stinkbug window camera

Florida predatory stinkbug sucking the sweet juices from some poor buggy.

The stinkbugs were out in force in the bright afternoon sun. Quite a few were on the windows on the sunny side of the house.And many were inside too. I continue to put them outside...

At the Smithsonian Urban Bird Habitat Garden

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.

..or a dozen or so. On the outside of the dirty window.

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

Hello little... not friend.

18 mm.

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?

another ill-fated stink bug in media, pa... poor bugzilla

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.
