Twice-stabbed Stink Bug (Nymph)

Commonly found in fields, meadows, and gardens on various host plants across North America.

Herbivorous; feeds on the juices of several plants, including snapdragons, mints, and certain weeds like hedge nettle.

Nymphs exhibit a rounded, beetle-like shape with distinct red, black, and white/blue markings. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis and are often seen aggregate on host plants.

Generally harmless to humans; while they may cause minor aesthetic damage to garden plants, they are not considered a major agricultural pest.
