Red Stink Bug

Pycanum rubens

Description:

These bright, redish-pinkish, baby insects are the size of any of your top finger joints. I saw another insect nearby that looked the exact same, but bigger and a different color. It was a dark brown or black. So maybe when this insect grows, it looses its mesmerizing color! It's back is a rectangular shape, and has six legs. It also has two little sharp-looking sticks sticking out the back of the insect, and crossing over each other. I'm not quite sure what they are though... The little sticks are grayish-brown, except for the ends, which fade into black.

Habitat:

I can infer that it likes to stay in one place, or has a specific habitat because every day for a few days I saw them in the same place, on the same leaf.

Notes:

I think that this insect is fascinating because of the lined pattern on its back, and the beautiful redish-pinkish color it is.
