Perillus circumcinctus
Perillus circumcinctus is a predatory stink bug in the family Pentatomidae, native to North America. It is one of several predatory species in the genus Perillus, closely related to the well-studied two-spotted stink bug (Perillus bioculatus). Like other predatory pentatomids, it hunts insect prey using piercing-sucking mouthparts to inject digestive enzymes and consume liquefied tissues. The species has been documented from Vermont and other parts of North America.
