The Clown Stink Bug, or Red Striped Golden Stink Bug is a small insect belonging to the family Scutelleridae, otherwise known as jewel bugs. They are classified into this family because of their metallic exterior, and a shell that covers their entire abdomen and wings. They also feed on and lay their eggs on plants. They are found in east and south east Asia, including China, Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan^[1].

Taxonomy

Description

The Clown Stink Bug is a goldish yellow/green color with a red stripe pattern on hard shield shaped outer shell. Adults are about 15mm long on average^[2]. Their antennae have five sections and their feet have three sections. They get the name stinkbug because of the smelly odor they can excrete if they feel in danger.

Habitat

They are found in east Asian countries like China, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea. The females lay their glob-like milky white colored eggs on host plants, usually around 14 eggs per clutch^[3].

Lifecycle

Clown Stink Bugs have five nymphic instars, or adolescent stages^[4]. In their final, or adult stage, they are hemimetabolies, or have incomplete metamorphosis, meaning that their dimensions may change between molts^[5].

Traditional Uses

In China and South Korea, the red striped golden stink bug is used to make an anti inflammatory traditional medicine^[6].
