I previously thought this beetle was an altica beetle. However, I was wrong, the scientific name is Zicrona Caerulea. He's the family of the Pentatomidae. I found this Zicrona Caerulea some time ago in the village of Serbajaman Tunong, North Aceh, Indonesia. I encountered this beetle in grass on the edge of rice fields in a local village.
Apart from eating leaves, Zicrona Caerulea also eats larvae. They generally do not bother farmers, because they are not a destructive pest.
Zicrona caerulea can reach an adult size of about 5–8 millimetres (0.20–0.31 in). The body is uniformly metallic blue-green (hence the Latin name caerulea, meaning blue). In the immatures the abdomen is red with black markings.
These bugs are useful predators of leaf beetles in the genus Altica, of larvae of various beetles and caterpillars of moths, but it also feeds on plants. Eggs are laid in the spring. New adults of this univoltine species can be found from July onwards. This bug overwinters as an adult.
Below I have uploaded their photos, I hope you are interested and like them.
