Predatory stink bug nymph eating beetle larva

Family Pentamoidea

Description:

Today I found two predatory stink bug nymphs eating two beetle larvae, side by side. Although all the photos seem to be from the same pair, photo #4 is from a different pair of that in photos #1, #2 and #3. The beetle larvae are the same I spotted some time ago: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/148...

What a neat observation. Its certainly a big meal. Do you suppose the bug superficially resemble their prey?
