Bean Plataspid

Copyright © Lewis Scharpf

Megacopta cribraria
Adult
Sometimes call Kudzu Bug or Globular Stink Bug
Controversy exists over this highly invasive species. On one hand, it seems
to prefer kudzu, itself a hihgly invasive and damaging botanical.
However, it has the potential to be a serious pest of certain leguminous crops.
