Some fruit plants have been attacked by this species of insect known as the spiny bug, so called because of its pronotum extending high on its back and culminating in a sharp thorn-like end. It is also common to see an ornamental plant, such as a rose bush, full of these small hemiptera that do not reach 2 cm in length
Seen from the side you can notice the resemblance to a thorn, this serves as camouflage in ornamental plants (rose), scaring away possible predators that leave when they see this type of thorn on its back
On some occasion I mentioned the cicada because of its life cycle, since this insect that belongs to the Family Membracidae has some similar morphological features although they do not really belong to this family. The most notable spiny bugs are those of the Genus Umbonia, the species Umbonia crassicornis and Umbonia spinosa, which stand out with their characteristic colors: green, yellow, red and brown
These Arthropods have spread from Central America to South America and have adapted to the subtropical climate with reproduction mechanisms carried out mainly by the female of the species, since she is in charge of taking care of the eggs and protecting the small creatures from eventual predators with the internal squabbling of the members of the same "litter" of insectsReferences and pictures:
