Stink Bugs (unknown species) (family Pentatomidae) on Sep 26, 2008

Submitter does not have a specimen

Description of specimen

Please see photos, which are kind of blurry due to the close-up shot. The beetle has a light, almost white underbelly, with a brown, slightly red top shell, with I think about 8 black small dots in parallel rows from front to back.

Commentary

Hello Victor, the OSU insect identification lab has confirmed it to be an immature Pentatomid (stink bug family). Thanks for your report!
