Sometimes called the giant strong-nosed stink bug, this very large (20 mm) predatory stink bug occurs in several row crops and preys on other insects, especially lepidopterous larvae. The stages in the life cycle are presented here so that they can be identified in the field. This revised 3-page fact sheet was written by David B. Richman and Frank W. Mead and published by the UF Department of Entomology and Nematology, March 2011. EENY165/IN322: Predatory Stink Bug, Alcaeorrhynchus grandis (Dallas) (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) (ufl.edu)
