Field Notes

Description:

I spotted a few of these Rainbow Shield Bugs just over a week ago, in the rice mill backyard - https://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/768498015... but yesterday they were all over the banana plants as well as a Jackfruit Tree and I even saw a few on the mango trees. The pictures taken for this spotting were the easiest to photograph because the banana plants are not too tall.

Habitat:

These Rainbow Shield Bugs were spotted in the rice mill backyard on the leaves of banana plants.
