Tessaratoma Papillosa

Tessaratoma Papillosa

Description:

About three quarters to a full inch in length, a little over an inch in width. I observe 6 yellowish orange legs and 2 antennae. Very bright red, as you can see. It did not fly the 5-10 minutes we observed it. Just crawled its way from leaf to leaf.

Notes:

Found 2 of these in a berry plantation in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

I think this is a nymph of Tessaratoma papillosa, a stinkbug of the Tessaratomidae family.
