Bull Frog

This species has a brown, fairly round and flat, leathery abdomen. On either side of the neck shield his sharp, upstanding projections which have seen something out of 'shoulders'. The four-pronged antennas are about half the body length and clearly visible because of the red-orange color but with a black tip. The hind wings are red orange sit in quiet hidden under the hemelytra (partially thickened wings). The legs have 2 tarsleden. The flat 'edge' to the abdomen is light brown striped in adult specimens. The scutellum (shield), a triangular portion of the mesonotum is in this species as with almost all the bugs clearly visible between the front edges of the free hemelytra and a straight shape. On the abdomen, the thin portions of the membranous hemelytra folded over each other. The maximum length is about 15 millimeters, the males remain slightly smaller than the female, but has longer antennas. The picture shows the male probably pictured right. Posted 9 years ago
