Piercing mouthparts account for the way that stink bugs obtain their food. The insects in question (Pentatomoideasuperfamily) are capable of breaking through plant part exteriors to extract interior fluids. The liquids thus sipped into the pentatomid's body will deprive the affected plant of life-sustaining, soluble nutrients coming up by roots and flowing down from leaves.
