Field Notes

Description:

Mozena is a genus of leaf-footed bugs in the family Coreidae. The white patches seem to be a common marking in the genus Mozena. Finding the exact species has proved to be difficult. The ends of the antennae are dark brown or black. I'm leaning towards Mozena obtusa.

Habitat:

Spotted in thick vegetation at a forest edge.
