    Default Colours

    I don't know what is the English name for this but in my native Bengali it is called Kaanchpoka (literally - Glass Insect).

    Scutelleridae are otherwise known as Shield-backed bugs, a reference to the fact that their shield is continuous, not divided. Because bugs in this family are usually brightly colored, they are also known as Jewel bugs. These insects feed on plant juices, and are closely related to stink bugs.

    The colours look good. Nice details. You could have cropped a bit from the left to exclude the brown branches. Thanks for sharing.

    I will not call it a sweet little thing. I am always impressed with the vibrant colours of these small creatures. Thanks for sharing.

    Cheers,
