Tropical Stinkbug, La Planada Nature Reserve, Colombia A colorful stink bug with overall yellow/black patterns and black and white banded legs. Potentially interesting find, as so far I&#039;ve not yet found anything close. I checked all stink bugs in Colombia via inaturalist and also ploughed through all true bugs in Andreas Kay&#039;s gallery. I did find an interesting similarity with this leaf-footed bug, makes you wonder if any mimicking process is at play, or just a coincidence:<br /> <br /> <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/andreaskay/45238268652/in/album-72157629662903473/" rel="nofollow">https://www.flickr.com/photos/andreaskay/45238268652/in/album-72157629662903473/</a><br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/76387/tropical_stinkbug_-_front_la_planada_nature_reserve_colombia.html" title="Tropical Stinkbug - front, La Planada Nature Reserve, Colombia"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/2/76387_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=N6qmRz5syiJchNY37BFlYAAcSUY%3D" width="152" height="152" alt="Tropical Stinkbug - front, La Planada Nature Reserve, Colombia A colorful stink bug with overall yellow/black patterns and black and white banded legs.

      So impressive, all I could find was a single reference photo yet it looks like an exact match, visually and in distribution. Thank you! Posted 6 years ago
