| Bug DIACTOR BILINEATUS the insect is the Diactor bilineatus, says the researcher of the Biological Institute of São Paulo, Sergio IDE It explains that it is about a species of chinch-bug popularly known as chinch-bug-do-maracujá. The adults reach up to 20 millimeters of length, are of green-dark coloration, with three orange lines that go of the head until escutelo. The posterior legs present an expansion in the tibia in leaf form of dark coloration and with orange points. The eggs are placed in the inferior face of leves, being that each position is composed in the maximum of ten eggs and the incubation period is of 15 days. The nymphs (young forms), say the researcher, suck the seiva of the aerial part of the plants during a period of 45 days and before if transforming into adults the nymphs they pass for urging. The longevity of the adult is of 30 days, of form that the complete cycle of the species they live approximately two months, depending on the climatic conditions. The nymphs of this species suck the seiva of the floral buttons and new fruits, and the adults also attack leves, branches and fruits of any age. The floral buttons and attacked new fruits generally fall and the greaters become wrinkled. The control can be made with the manual removal of eggs, nymphs and adults. Use of gloves sends regards to it to remove them. |

Hallo Linaldo
Welcome to Trek Nature. This is a very fascinating and colourful insect. It is actually a pity the size of the photo is so small, because I think you do not do justice of this insect looking at it on such a small photo. I have translated your notes from Portuguese to English and found the description of this insect very interesting. The two back legs looks like autumn leaves it is dragging behind him. Lovely selection of colourful patterns on its body. Thanks for sharing.
Kind regards
Anna
This is a very colourful bug, Linaldo.
Its leaf-shaped rear legs are an amazing phenomenon of nature.

You have made an impressive debut with this very unique first picture.

Hello Linaldo
Very interesting picture of this colourful bug. Focus is good. The insect was moving when you took the picture. Time exposure is certainly to high. It would have been good also to have a larger photo. Very good POV.
And welcome to TN.
Cheers,
Mariki

hi Linaldo,
welcome to TN. Good first pic! nice detail and color in this interesting bug. Great point of view and well focused. only thing i would say is that it would have been nicer with a more natural background. maybe there was another angle that you could have tried? i know it's not always possible.. nice job!
