Dynamic Uno Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 I found this guy today at work. Gorgeous colors! But I have no idea what it is. Someone commented on my Facebook feed that it was a type of tiger beetle, but I couldn't find any species native to the area that seemed similar I've got him in a fasteners container for now until I get him home, then I can get some better pics and maybe a drawing or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a.ojala Posted April 26, 2013 Report Share Posted April 26, 2013 It's a predatory stink bug. Idk on the exact specie though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GiantVinegaroon Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 You need to enroll your "friend" into an Entomology 101 course if they want to try and ID bugs in the future...I don't know how they got tiger beetle from looking at that stinker....

Dynamic Uno Posted May 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2013 Haha, thank you guys. And I was confused as well when he told me tiger beetle and I tried finding a match. None of them looked anything like this guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
