Wow! Another weird Coreid! Amazing behavior too. Cindy, I found these on the egg laying behavior (and the eggs are gold colored) :). http://beheco.oxfordjournals.org/content/12/3/369.full http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phyllomorpha_laciniata

Awesome looking bug! Can you add a reference or more detail about this one? I'm curious about the common name.
