Mating Rough Stink Bugs
Dear Sarah,
This is not a bug. It is two bugs that are enamored with one another. These are mating Rough Stink Bugs in the genus Brochymena based on this BugGuide image. and according to BugGuide: “recorded hosts include members of 18 plant families.” If your five-year old is enamored, perhaps this is a good time to begin that conversation about the birds and the bees and the stink bugs.
