Since your most appreciated Stink Bug ID's, I would like to see if I have learned anything and at the same time I seek more information. I feel that the Stink Bug involved here is the Brown Marmorated? The predation of the Black Swallowtail chrysalis seems to employ a proboscis or some other anatomical tool. Could you identify this "tool" and explain how it penetrates the chrysalis. Incidentally, the chrysalis died as a result of this act or for some other cause.

Thanks,
Bob
