Native to various regions of Southeast Asia, physopelta quadriguttata is known for its vivid coloration and patterns which serve as a deterrent to potential predators. This striking insect undergoes incomplete metamorphosis, where nymphs resemble smaller versions of the adult without fully developed wings. Adults exhibit a specialized mouthpart designed for piercing and sucking, primarily feeding on the juices of plants, impacting local agriculture.

This vibrant species dons a sleek, polished exoskeleton embellished with a striking, tessellated pattern of bold black and fiery red. The juvenile forms of these insects feed voraciously on plant juices, using their piercing-sucking mouthparts, while the adults exhibit a more diverse palate that encompasses both plant fluids and smaller invertebrates, illustrating a diet shift as they mature. Agile in movement, physopelta gutta employs its powerful hind legs for both locomotion and to elude potential predators, an adaptation showcasing an evolved survival mechanism in their habitat.

The Stenomacra marginella can be identified primarily with the bright-orange borders around their brown bodies. They are commonly found around short grasses nearby streams due to their affinity for moisture. As a result, they can swarm up the bodies of trees during floods.

The california bordered plant bug (Largus californicus) uses its piercing-sucking mouthparts to consume liquid from plant tissue. It's attracted to the most nutritious parts of plants, such as flowers and fruits. While these bugs can swarm plants in large groups, they don't usually cause significant damage to ornamental plants since they move on later in the summer.

The bordered plant bug (Largus succinctus) has a flat, dark-colored body with red marking around the edges. These bugs suck juice from a wide variety of plants, including oak and wax myrtle. However, they rarely cause significant damage. During the winter, they could invade homes by crawling in through cracks and crevices.

Macrocheraia is a genus of bugs in the family Largidae with a single species, Macrocheraia grandis found mainly in Southeast Asia but extending into parts of South Asia. This was referred to in some older literature under the genus Lohita, a name derived from the Sanskrit word for red. The abdomen of the male is long and extends well beyond the wingtip. The species feeds on a range of plants including those of the families Euphorbiaceae and Malvaceae.
