Cosmopepla conspicillaris

(Cosmopepla conspicillaris)

Description

Cosmopepla conspicillaris is a species of insect in the Pentatomidae family. Due to its common preference for plants in the Stachys genus, it is often called the hedgenettle stink bug. It is also known as the conspicuous stink bug, two-spotted stink bug or happy bespectacled stink bug depending on locality. The name two-spotted stink bug is better applied to another species, Perillus bioculatus (Fabricius, 1775).
