DESCRIPTION AKA Man faced stink bug. If you look closely you can see his happy face. It was discovered in 1778 by British entomologist Dru Drury. This species masses in dense groups of several hundred on fruit trees and are considered as a pest as they feed on the young shoots and sap of valuable crops such as Cashew trees, corn and cotton. The bright colour is said to warn predators of its toxicity.
