Leaf-Footed Bug

Piezogaster scutellaris

Description:

Found this Shield Bug acting strangely, it kept it's back side going up and down, was it placing eggs on the leaf? in picture #3, I saw something hanging from it's back side?!

Could be, but I cannot see much of markings in Ignacio's spotting. Genus looks fine, but I also would need to check the genus first.

I edit as Ignacio Gamboa, I think it is the same bug.

bayucca I found this one in PN,is that the same one should I edit it as the spotting here?
