Stink Bugs and Shield BugsGarden bug – on jacob’s ladder and columbine
These bugs are multiplying like crazy and were all over the plants. I must have killed dozens! Any ideas? Thanks,
Sharon
Hi Sharon,
While in Ohio last week, we noticed several of these diminutive Stink Bugs on mom’s columbine, and resolved to identify them when we returned to Los Angeles and internet access. We have been so busy trying to catch up on all of our emails that we hadn’t the time. Your letter provided us with the opportunity to identify the Twice Stabbed Stink Bug, Cosmopepla lintneriana, on BugGuide. Once we had a name, we were able to find a photo online on Dave’s Garden showing the Twice Stabbed Stink Bug on a columbine flower that give a good view of its tiny size.
