Would you allow me to post this one on my site ? (because of the maternal care, of course)
This picture with the nymphs is very interesting. It shows that this species pratices maternal care as is often the case for the Oncomerine bugs. It has already been documented for an other species of Lyramorpha, in Australia, by Georg Monteith. (see for example http://www.google.com/imgres?q=lyramorph...)
The two proposed species can be separated by the color of the cubital vein of the hemelytra, concolor for flavicornis, yellow for chrysoptera
This one is a Tessaratomidae Oncomerinae, Agapophyta sp. (difficult to tell the species in this very intricated genus from the pic of a female specimen)
