Field Notes

Description:

Now, this one puzzled me. The epidermis of the leaf was cut in the overall shape of a stink bug, died and became brown. Under it there was an unidentified larva that seemed to be dead. Could it be that this larva intentionaly mimicked a stink bug for protection? Did anyone see something like this?
