    Does this particular shield bug have varying forms? It doesn’t look quite the same as the others of this name. Or is it a male/ female difference? Posted 5 years ago, modified 5 years ago

      No they are Aust at a different development stage . They go through 5 or 6 growing steps before turning into adults. A bit like caterpillars . Posted 5 years ago
