Adult giant strong-nosed stinkbug - Alcaeorrhynchus grandis - Alcaeorrhynchus grandis
Baton Rouge, Bluebonnet Swamp Nature Center, East Baton Rouge Parish, Louisiana, USA
September 18, 2016
Found on the same small rough leaf dogwood as nymphs that I have been reporting on. See, for example, here:
This link will also lead to other links to the nymphs.
I last saw nymphs (2 of them) on this small tree on 9/15/16.
This is one of 2 adults I found on 9/18/16. These are the first and only adults I have seen.
One flew several yards away as I tried to hard to get a good camera angle.
I will add two more views of the same individual.

Very beautiful! Seems to be wearing purple and gold for LSU.
