Bean Bug
Riptortus pedestris
Adult bean bugs inhabit crop fields, grasslands, and field margins where legumes are available. They feed by piercing pods, seeds, and stems, and can damage soybean crops. Their fully developed wings allow them to disperse between host plants, while scent glands provide a pungent chemical defense.
