shield bug nymphs
Lyramorpha sp.
-2.56285, 140.504
Field Notes
Description:
Lyramorpha sp. shield bug nymphs of varying degrees of development sharing the same tree branch. Papua photo link for genus here http://www.papua-insects.nl/insect%20orders/Hemiptera/Heteroptera/unide…
Habitat:
Spotted in a kedondong tree (Spondias dulcis) in a large semi-urban yard & garden located beside a disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest.
Notes:
The insects were above my head so the focus isn't sharp. The last photo shows an adult shield bug that was close by, perhaps of the same species.
