Anyone up for a Slurpee? - Alcaeorrhynchus grandis
Lakeland, Polk County, Florida, USA
June 14, 2006
Size: 15 mm
This stinkbug is feeding on a Gulf Fritillary larva which was feeding on Passon vine. Sad to see the caterpillar's fate, but the colors on this guy are amazing. They are hard to capture in a photo.

Sorry, not a flavor I'd favor
Nice photo, though.
