This stink bug species has many different looks, including ones with red shoulders, which are not shown on this specimen. The bug in these images was identified with the help of volunteer experts at BugGuide, a web site which has more images and information on this species. This stink bug feeds on a variety of host plants.
This specimen was seen and photographed during mid-September 2012 in Neale Woods, while photographing new moth species after dark. Its abundance in our two nature centers is not yet known.
