Sycanus indagator is a species of assassin bug found in India.

[1] It has been used a biological control agent in parts of the United States for its potential as a predator of lepidopteran caterpillars such as Spodoptera frugiperda although in some lab experiments, they preferred the larvae of Galleria mellonella.

[2] Their potential for use against Pseudoplusia includens caterpillars in soybean fields has also been tested in the past in the US.

The eggs take about 10-17 days to hatch depending on the temperature and the adults took five nymphal moults with a total egg to adult duration of 80 to 100 days at tropical temperatures (and twice as long at lower temperatures).
