Pellaea stictica is a species of stink bug found in temperate areas of the Western Hemisphere, including North America, South America,[1] and the Caribbean.[2] The adults and nymphs are both considered edible insects in Mexico.[3] This species was first described to science in 1851.[4] Its distribution north of Mexico has only recently (as of 2021) extended to California, having previously only been known from Texas.[5]
