Lyramorpha sp.
Lyramorpha sp. shield bug nymphs of varying degrees of development sharing the same tree branch. Papua photo link for genus here http://www.papua-insects.nl/insect%20ord...
Spotted in a kedondong tree (Spondias dulcis) in a large semi-urban yard & garden located beside a disturbed patch of remnant lowland forest.
The insects were above my head so the focus isn't sharp. The last photo shows an adult shield bug that was close by, perhaps of the same species.
