Description:
The adult cotton stainer is a "true bug" with piercing, sucking mouthparts. The head and pronotum are bright red; the remainder of the body is dark brown crossed with pale yellow lines. The length is 2 inch or slightly longer. Immature stages are smaller but resemble adults without wings. Cotton stainer eggs are small, pale and laid singly on cotton plants or dropped on the ground near cotton plants.
