Wilted-tip-mimicking Squash Bug - Amorbus angustior
Family Coreidae
This page contains pictures and information about Wilted-tip-mimicking Squash Bugs that we found in the Brisbane area, Queensland, Australia.
- Body length 20mm
- This bug was found on alone White Hill on Oct 2004. It was hanging upside-down on a gum tree new shot, mimicking a dry leaf remain of a wilted tip. The bug has a round and flat abdomen.
- Later we found that this bug is common on young gum trees during early summer. However, we only found the adults. We did not see any nymph of this bugs on the same tree.
- Notice the 'wilted tip' that the bug made. The bug just mimics as part of the wilted tip.
