SC stink bug
Hi Bugpeople!
I saw this stinkbug sticking to my motorcycle cover the other day (West Columbia, SC). I didn’t see him on your site and figured you might want the picture for reference. I notice it has something hanging on his right rear leg, maybe an egg-sac. thanks for the great site,
Derwood

Hi Derwood,
This isn’t a Stink Bug. It is a Coreid Bug. Coreid Bugs are commonly called Leaf-Footed Bugs or Big Legged Bugs. That is not an eggsac, but the physiogamy of the insect. We believe your specimen is in the genus Acanthocephala.
