Full Circle:  Possible Trichopepla - Trichopepla semivittata

Full Circle: Possible Trichopepla - Trichopepla semivittata
DeSoto, Dallas County, Texas, USA
August 1, 2008
Here are the full-grown stinkbugs of the nymphs that I have been watching on my dill and have posted earlier. Can someone venture a final verdict?

Trichopepla semivittata
Donald Thomas det.

Moved from Trichopepla.

Moved from Stink Bugs.

There are five or six species of Trichopepla
and we can't find how to separate them. We seem to maybe have two in the guide under semivittata, one that feeds on Apiaceae, such as yours and one that feeds on Plantaginaceae. So rather than add to the confusion by moving yours also to that species, we will move your images to the genus page and wait till someone comes along who can identify them to species. It is great to get such a complete set of images and identification of host plant too!

 
Thanks, John and Jane
Just having the genus confirmed is great!
