Hello everyone, good afternoon wherever you are, how are you this afternoon? Hope you are fine wherever you are.
I"m back here again and on this occasion I want to show you some beautiful shots of baby cotton stainer bugs. In Latin, the cotton stainer bug is known as Dysdercus cingulatus, which comes from the Pyrrhocoridae family, which is one of the true ladybug species. This insect is a major pest for cotton plants. They can enjoy many things from the cotton plant, starting from the sap, leaves, flowers and even the fruit. For the fruit, they prefer the seeds. Cotton seeds contain a lot of oil, which automatically tastes better, that's why they like it.
What I found, they were not in the cotton plants but they were playing in the weeds under the cotton trees. These beautiful babies are not alone there, they are in a group. The others had already run away when they saw me approaching that place, only this baby remained loyal to that place. He is a little brave, maybe he is the first child so he must have a brave soul to protect his other siblings.
The color of this baby cotton stainer bug is very beautiful, namely its whole body is bright red decorated with white and black dots. On its neck there is a white color that resembles a necklace. Six long legs, a pair of black eyes, a red proboscis pointing downwards and a pair of long black antennae. The only drawback to this baby is that it doesn't have wings. When they see a predator they can only run to hide, they cannot fly.
