I have to change my suggestion from Anoplocnemis to Physomerus grossipes. The latter is the correct ID. It is said that the female of P. grossipes is regarded as providing the "best known example" of "maternal care in the large family Coreidae."

This is a perfect fit to the "Brooding behavior in insects and other invertebrates mission" because it is an arthropod, and it the actual parent of the eggs it is tending. Thanks for adding it.
