Interesting!
Simoglou & Dioli (http://fragmentaentomol.org/index.php/fr...) stated that Eurydema eckerleini is monophagous, feeding on Capparis spinosa, while Eurydema spectabilis lives on Cakile maritima (among other plants).
Despina, were the photos taken at the same location?
It would be great if you could add this spotting (and others of insects in Costa Rica) to the mission "Insects of Costa Rica":

Bugs of the family Coreidae aren't assassin bugs! This one belongs to the genus Leptoglossus - but doesn't look like L. occidentalis...

Hi,
could you please add this spotting (and others of insects from Costa Rica) to the mission "Insects of Costa Rica: https://www.projectnoah.org/missions/100...
PS: You should update the species name ;-)...
@Gilma: The two species differ in the colour of the legs (femurs). M. luctuosus does not have red parts. No, the species does not transmit Chagas desease.
It's Microtomus luctuosus...
