True BugsWhat is it?
We found this bug on the license plate of my husband’s truck in Dallas, TX. My husband says it’s a stink bug, and my dad says it’s an assassin beetle. I’ve scoured pictures on the internet, but they all look so similar. Care to help with the identification process?
Curious,
Christina
Hi Christina,
Sadly, you are both wrong. This is in the Coreid Bug Family, a Big Legged Bug or Leaf Footed Bug. This specimen is in the genus Acanthocephala and has no common name.
