Colourfull Garden Pest

[Loukie Viljoen]

They have the habit when confronted they get wings erect and secrete a very smelly fluid, enough to put anybody off lunch, Scanned image no exif,

[John Cooper]

The colourful wing display is a nice consolation for the smelly secretion :D

Interesting garden pest Loukie and nicely portrayed!!

Good looking bug !!! Not sure I would like to be getting close to it !!! Only wish the contrast was lower Excellent !!!

Hey Loukie,

Good portrait, Great color and details, agree with Al about the contrast. The underwing colors make a great show.

Thanks for the warning about the secretion. I might run into one of these guys some day.
