Stink Bug with Milkweed Beetle larva -- no I.D. for instar bug -- possibly a Brochymena species(?)

found on underside of a leaf of Common Milkweed near the red pine plantation
in Baird Woods, near Herrons Mills in Lanark County. The bug was clinging to
its prey (a dead Labidomera clivicollis larva) and tenaciously pulling it around the leaf
while I was shooting a few photos.

Nikon Coolpix 4500
