Megacopta cribraria ist eine Wanzenart aus der Familie der Kugelwanzen (Plataspididae). Die ursprünglich in Asien verbreitete Art wurde durch den Menschen in die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika eingeschleppt und gilt dort als Schädling in der Landwirtschaft, da sie sich vor allem von Hülsenfrüchtlern (Fabaceae) ernährt, wobei Kudzu (Pueraria montana) die wichtigste Nahrungspflanze ist. Die Art ist wahrscheinlich mit der sehr ähnlichen Art konspezifisch, das heißt, es handelt sich vermutlich um dieselbe biologische Art.

Megacopta cribraria, also called the bean plataspid, kudzu bug, globular stink bug and lablab bug, is a shield bug native to India and China, where it is an agricultural pest of lablab beans and other legumes. The bug, while harmless to houseplants and people, often enters houses. It is attracted to white surfaces such as the walls of houses or white vehicles, because of the high reflectance of the white surfaces as it relates to the bugs' simple eyes. As a defense mechanism, they emit a foul-smelling pheromone that also acts as a congregation pheromone. Aside from smelling foul, the liquid also creates a burning sensation and sometimes leaves a red welt on bare skin. It is similar to other Plataspidae in having a somewhat unusual symbiotic relationship with its gut bacteria. Before laying

Aside from smelling foul, the liquid also creates a burning sensation and sometimes leaves a red welt on bare skin. It is similar to other Plataspidae in having a somewhat unusual symbiotic relationship with its gut bacteria. Before laying eggs, females deposit particles containing the symbiont, which are then eaten by newly hatched nymphs under natural conditions. Nymphs experimentally deprived of access to the symbiont exhibited slower growth, smaller body sizes and higher mortality. The bean plataspid gives off an offensive odor when touched, squashed, or poked. Hosted by wisteria, green beans, and other legumes, the insect sucks juice from the stems of soybean plants and reduces crop yield. However, when the insect infests kudzu, another invasive species, it appreciably reduces the growth of that plant.
