The fly #Ectophasia #crassipennis (#Phasiinae, #Tachinidae,) has a Palearctic distribution and prefers #warmth. In Germany, warmth-favored areas are populated. Contrary to older literature referring to southern/southwest #Germany, the species also occurs in #Berlin. The #brood lives endoparasitically in #truebugs, often on #Pentatomidae. #Globalwarming favors the expansion of the original distribution of #warmthloving#species. #Biodiversity

Nymphs (3rd and 4th instar) of the southern green shield bug (#Nezara viridula).

Originally from the tropics and subtropics, this now cosmopolitan #shieldbug arrived in Germany in 1979 and has become firmly established in the south-west of the country. Due to the very warm weather in recent years, the population has increased considerably.

As far as I know, there is no Stink Bug Monthly magazine.

But if there were, I would like to submit this as a cover photograph. Brochymena cariosa, rough stink bug, from UTAustin’s fabulous Brackenridge Field Lab.
