Field Notes

Description:

Percevejo, no Brasil - stink bug found at my tangerine tree
can be genus Palomena.
Palomena prasina has "shoulders" and this species is more like a drop. P. prasina has colored antennas and legs, this one, not.

O formato pontiagudo da cabeça dessa ninfa, a coloração clara dos dois segmentos das pontas das antenas, o tórax estreito, sem "ombro", o formato ovalado do corpo e os dois pontinhos pretos no alto do tórax indicam que talvez não se trate dessa espécie. Dá uma olhada nessas imagens de Palomena prasina http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Palomena_prasina_04.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gemeine_Stinkwanze_Palomena_prasina.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gr%C3%BCne_Stinkwanze_%28Palomena_prasina%29_Larve_2.jpg
