Notes: Abstract We observed the seed-carrying and feeding behavior of a stink bug, Adrisa magna, under manipulated conditions in the laboratory. The bugs were most active at night but also fed on seeds under shelter during the daytime. When adults were housed on their own, they often left these shelters with the seeds in them and reused the abandoned seeds later. When several adults were introduced into a container, we found adults feeding communally and sucking on seeds abandoned by other bugs. It is suggested that seed-carrying behavior allows for communal feeding between conspecific bugs in heterogeneous environments.
