The false chinch bug is a tiny North American bug that can cause serious damage to plants if present in large quantities, though it's not reported as a significant crop pest. This bug doesn't have a larval stage; instead, it has several nymph stages which are very similar to the adult insect. When it feels threatened, it releases an odor similar to those of stinkbugs.

The large Milkweed Bug mimics the cry of similar-looking bugs, making it even less appealing to predators looking to catch them.
