=============================
📒 Show Notes 📒

Not all #StinkBug species are plant pests—many are predators!In slide 2 #Podisus #maculiventris is shown, but it's hard to tell them apart from herbivorous species at certain earlier life stages.

Some predatory #stinkbugs have eggs with spiked structures on the top, but I'm not sure that is diagnostic of all predatory stink bugs.

As nymphs and adults, the rostrum, or sucking mouthpart, is much thicker and stronger for penetrating the exoskeleton of other arthropods rather than the thinner mouthpart meant for plant feeders such as the common Brown Marmorated Stink Bug #Halyomorpha #halys.
