Ceratozygum horridum
Pentatomidae, Cyrtocoridae
The most interesting thing about this insect is that it turns dark when wet, just like tree bark, and some of its colors actually change, not just darken. Attached is a paper, “Camouflage by Integumentary Wetting in Bark Bugs,” that Bob Silberglied and I wrote about it and another wetable bug in 1980. (Annete Aiello, STRI.)
