Field Notes

Habitat:

This Seed Bug was spotted in our backyard on Indian heliotrope (Heliotropium indicum Linn.) known in the Philippines as Trompang elepante.

Notes:

This Seed Bug looks like it might belong to the Genus Beosus from the tribe Rhyparochromini, but I am not yet sure. If this proves to be correct, then the Common Name would become "Coastal Groundbug".
