Old World Soapberry Bugs (Genus Leptocoris)Observer
grahamwiseDescription
Seed bug nymphs and adult from Australia. Elytra of adult open and closed. Nymphs were found on same plant in close proximity to the adult. I guess I can't be sure they are same species.
Arocatus aenescens? Perhaps the adult is not fully mature?
