    Well done Ernst!! This is sometimes called the 'small headed bug" which is obvious when you see the adult. We need an adult picture now :)
    The nymph is such an unexpected shape.     Posted 7 years ago

The Bronze Orange Bug

"Musgraveia sulciventris" is a large stink bug found in Australia, commonly known as the bronze orange bug. It is considered a pest, particularly to plants in the citrus group. They suck the sap from trees, which causes the flowers and fruit to fall.
