Lychee Shield Bug (Chrysocoris stolii, Scutelleridae)

Scutelleridae is a family of true bugs. They are commonly known as jewel bugs or metallic shield bugs due to their often brilliant coloration. They are also known as shield-backed bugs due to the enlargement of the last section of their thorax into a continuous shield over the abdomen and wings. This latter characteristic distinguishes them from most other Hemipteran bug families, and may lead to misidentification as a beetle rather than a bug. These insects feed on plant juices from a variety of different species, including some commercial crops. Closely related to stink bugs, they may also produce an offensive odour when disturbed.

Genus Creobroter:

Commonly known as “Flower mantis” Creobroter is a genus of mantis concentrated in Western Asia. The name comes from the Greek “kreas” (combining form “kreo-”, meaning “flesh”), and “broter” (eating); therefore, “flesh-eating”

In their early instars, the nymphs of the creobroter genus mimic ants. Ensuring that predators who rely on vision, such as birds and wasps, avoid them. At around third instar, the nymphs trade their ant-mimicking dark, shiny appearance for the green and light-colored markings that make their outline so difficult to discern amidst vegetation.
