Predatory Stink Bugs
Asopinae
Asopinae are a subfamily of stink bugs (family Pentatomidae). They are predatory stink bugs that are useful as biological control agents against pests, even against other herbivorous Pentatomid species. Despite being predatory, the rostrum is similarly straw-like as herbivorous Pentatomids. Their diet usually consists of soft-bodied insects like caterpillars and beetle larvae.
