Pachycoris torridus
Scutellarid bug with nymphs
"However, the source and function of the color variation of P. torridus are
unknown"... Unfortunately there is no info about this fact in the literature...

Tanks for the ID Torsten, I found a lot of different morphs of this bug when I googled the species. Do you have any idea why they vary so much?
