Field Notes
Description:
Unlike the more common Pentatomoidean practice of 'lay them and leave them', the Horned Shield Bugs (Acanthosomatidae) are commonly referred to as Parent Bugs because of the care they take with raising their young. Here, what are probably themselves siblings, oversee their offspring both as eggs (on the left) and early instar nymphs.
