Adults of rough stink bug, Brochymena sulcata (left), a beneficial predator compared with brown marmorated stink bug, Halyomorpha halys, a plant-feeding pest. Rough stink bugs have two white bands on the hind legs, no bands on their antennae, points on the face, and a rough or toothed edge on top the thorax (or "shoulders"). Adults of brown marmorated stink bug have one white band on their hind legs, white bands on the antennae, a blunt face, and relatively smooth shoulders.

The rough stink bug, Brochymena sulcata, can be confused with the brown marmorated stink bug but the top edge of its thorax (or ?shoulder?) is toothed and its antennae are not banded. Credit: Chris Hedstrom
