Spot-sided coreid

Spot-sided coreid

Hypselonotus punctiventris

A species of Hypselonotus

With a lifecycle that transforms from a non-winged nymph to a fully-winged adult, spot-sided coreid boasts a remarkable dorsal shield marked with intricate patterns. These are predominantly plant feeders, using their piercing mouthparts to extract sap from a variety of flora. They're especially adept at camouflage, their mottled brown to green exoskeleton seamlessly blending with leaves and stems, a vital adaptation for evading predators in their habitat.

Agricultural Pests

Under the pressure of spot-sided coreid infestations, crops exhibit wilting, yellowing, and eventual death of tissues. Nymphs and adults feed by sucking fluids from leaves and stems, stressing plants. A mild presence leads to minor cosmetic damage, while severe outbreaks can significantly decrease crop yields and plant vigor, indirectly affecting food supplies and agricultural economies.
