Four-lined plant bug is the common name of Poecilocapsus lineatus.

Specifically, the bug is a native North American insect. When it hatches in spring, it is unrecognizable in its bright red color. But as it matures, it becomes recognizable as a pest whose black-and-yellow green striped back is distinct. It uses its sucking mouth parts to remove chlorophyll from plant tissues.
