Twice-Stabbed Stinkbugs

26 Jul 2009 201
This pair of mating Twice-stabbed Stinkbugs was seen at Ranchlands Natural Area, on 8th July. "Body black with red band crossing width of pronotum and a short red stripe along the midline (these markings are sometimes orange or yellow); scutellum with two red marginal spots near apex - a distinguishing feature and the origin of the common name; tips of wings clear or appearing white when overlapped. Nymphs have similar color and pattern to adults but lack wings. They are 5-7 mm in size." From bugguide.net/node/view/6433/bgimage .
