I think they just suck a little bit of the juice. I can see the leaves eaten by something. It could be by grasshoppers or these red bugs. Very difficult to really see them in action, munching leaves....<br />~bangchikBangchik and Kakdahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12539360678677230463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6977963402204848415.post-35018711659770650202010-01-24T20:58:16.598+08:002010-01-24T20:58:16.598+08:00Hello everyone. Thanks to your comments about Red ...Hello everyone. Thanks to your comments about Red on Red..., the basic of camouflage. Red bugs on Roselles. <br /><br />Since Carol mentioned it, I just like to remind visitors to click at the picture for a larger view. <br /><br />They had multiplied. But they remained at the same hideout, never venture too far out. There are little red babies all over. These bugs are soft and I am quite sure some little animals will find them tasty! But eating red bugs.... urgggh.<br /><br />Matron, You may be right about blood pressure and cholesterol level... I have not checked... haha.<br /><br />Gittan, he has arrived!... the next post will be featuring him. Check out if he really melt under our hot sun!<br /><br />Thanks Heidi, I will check for harlequin bugs if they have cousins of similar look here..<br /><br />Cheers everyone.
