Not a plant but ....
« on: May 30, 2020, 12:01:34 PM »
Can anyone identify the insect in the pics. It seems to have emerged from the empty casings on the other side of the Cheilanthes tomentosa frond, which was presumably shaded.

Yep, these are shieldbug nymphs. Don't know what species though, sorry!
