I think this may be

Podisus maculiventris. See this page.

Looks good to me

- shall we move to guide?

I would feel more confident

if I had more information. A list of stink bug species for that area, knowledge of which species are similar. That being said, I still think this is correct, and this species is one of the most prominent predatory stink bugs in North America according to that page I linked above. Maybe we should wait and see what John and Jane think since they have been cleaning up these pages.

We're now thinking these big, heavily marked

ones are Apateticus, as here. Same image here

Wow, nice find

I wonder if the Texas A & M one (in my link above) is mislabelled?

Funny, it seems I created the Apateticus page, but I have no recollection of it, and can't figure out which image I would have done it for. : )

Wish we could help,

but this is beyond us. Boris is the one we have depended on. Maybe he will comment. But it does look good to us, for what that is worth.

Definitely a Stink Bug nymph

but we haven't got many ID'd beyond family yet. I'm cropping this one and moving it to the guide - we may be able to get this narrowed down further at some future date.
