Harlequin Bug (Tectocoris diophthalmus).
This bug was found on the high spot, and I had to manage to get closer to it when taking shots. This typical bug is usually seen on the leaf, perching from one to another but mostly it is not as aggressive as other bugs. So, it did not give me hard time taking its pictures. Known as hibiscus harlequin bug or hibiscus cotton bug, stays under the member of the jewel bug, mostly found in northern and eastern Australia as well as parts of Indonesia, New Guinea and some Pacific islands. It belongs to the family Scutelleridae, in the order Hemiptera. So, I made a short work to the bush along the village street side. Although I often found the same objects, they always look different to me, especially the place they hang out and the way they expose themselves in the bush. So my today's insect is the rainbow shield bug that, the day I found, perched on dried grass, staring at me with its two black eyes. It is considered a common insect that lives near people, and easy to find them hanging out around the bush but their appearance often tempted me to take shots.
