Shield Bug

Strikingly yellowish orange bug, simply stands out against the green leaves, very difficult to avoid those hungry birds - may be remaining still under the leaves, secreting some foul smell, being poisonous to them or too large to swallow for most smaller birds! Almost an inch long (about 25 mm). One prominent black dot on the thorax and three brush strokes: one on the middle and one each on the sides of the body. Has dark purplish legs and a pair of antennae.
