Genus change
This species has recently been moved out of Podisus. Gapon (2010) described the genus Conquistator for this species. So, this should now be known as Conquistator mucronatus.

I just read
Rice Stink Bug Info page and it says "Sometimes predatory on caterpillars"!!

Or maybe...
Podisus mucronatus?



Rice Stink Bug is not predatory ;)
