Dysdercus cingulatus

Hello, my friends, as usual, I hope you are all healthy and happy so that you can carry out your daily activities smoothly. I hope you all have a pleasant day.

In this meeting, I return to this beloved community to share some images with all of you in this community. The image shows one of the insects I found perched on wild leaves not far from my house. I believe the insects were in a pair at the time.

This insect is usually known as a cotton pest because it often damages crops in my area. I also often find these insects in pairs or groups during mating, as seen in some of the images I shared at this meeting. Regarding their habitat, they are generally found on leaves or host plants.

Below are some images I captured of them perched on a wildflower with their partner.

Okay, my friends, those are some of the pictures that I shared at this meeting. I hope you all like and are entertained by what I shared and see you at the next meeting.
