Largus cf. cinctus with nymphs - Largus
Small and red. Looks similar to a light bulb.
Found on the leaf of a green vine.
I think this may be a largus (bordered plant) nymph according to my research.

you can join and then add the spotting to the mission.Parental care in insects is a fascinating topic.
There is a mission on Brooding behavior in insects.This might be a good addition to it!
