Troilus luridus, nymph · bronzinė skydblakė, nimfa

Live prey is essential to development and adults walk slowly about in search of their prey; usually larvae, but sometimes the adults of beetles, butterflies and moths. They hold the prey at the tip of its rostrum using their mandibular and maxillary stylets which spread out within the prey cutting away at tissues. The nymphs feed on plants as well as the larvae of other insects, particularly caterpillars. The bugs overwinter as adults.‥
