Red Shield Bug- Pentatomidae

Summary edit

Description
English: The Pentatomoidea are characterized by a well-developed scutellum. It can be triangular to semielliptical in shape. Pentatomoidea species usually have antennae with five segments. The tarsi usually have two or three segments. Shield bugs have glands in their thoraces between the first and second pairs of legs that produce a foul-smelling liquid, which is used defensively to deter potential predators and is sometimes released when the bugs are handled. The nymphs, similar to adults except smaller and without wings, also have stink glands.
