Yard Critter of the Week - Anchor Stink Bug

Anchor Stink Bug

A predatory stink bug, shown here as a nymph ...



... sucking the guts out of an unfortunate Monarch Caterpillar ...


... on some Milkweed in our garden.

It certainly looks like a fancy type of lady beetle, which had me looking at page after page of such beetles in BugGuide. It's not a beetle, lady or other. A common mistake it seems.
