• Banasa calva

  Banasa calva is a species of stink bug in the family Pentatomidae. It is found in Central America and North America. The species feeds on sap of trees and shrubs but is rarely, if ever, a pest. Species identification within the genus is challenging as several North American species appear nearly identical and require microscopic examination for confirmation.
