The mating pair was found among the green fruits of the Leea rubra (Red Leea).
The nymphs below were found on the Centrosema molle (Centro) together with the adult bugs.
Below were a population of adults and nymphs found on another host plant, Turnera ulmifolia (Yellow Alder). The yellow arrow in one of the pictures pointed to a small ghost ant (Tapinoma melanocephalum) which showed the relative size of the nymph compared to that of the ant.
