NYMPHS OF TROPIDOTHORAX LEUCOPTERUS

A documentary shot.
It's not really an attractive sight, but I found it somehow amazing to see so many of these Heteroptera-nymphs
I went back the following day to the same place and they had disappeared.

Finally I found out about the ID! These are not Firebugs like I thought at the beginning.

Interesting that they should all disappear. Nice group photo. regards yiannis

Hi Anne,

Yes indeed a documentary shot and what a good idea showing these Nymphs in their natural habitat, it doesn't look like these guys are eating the leaves, so my question to you is what makes guys bunch up together like this hmmm?, however Anne a great spectacle, good sharpness and well exposed, nice to see something different, great stuff and well done,
Best regards,

Pauly.

Bonjour Anne,
An interesting capture of these masses of bug nymphs. The clarity and natural colours are excellent but the subject itself is unusual and food for thought.
As they display warning colours they are likely to be unpalatable and not usually taken by predators. The question then is why are so many nymphs necessary to continue the species? What do they die of and what is it that keeps down the population? I don't know the answers and can only speculate...
Nymphs are usually more difficult to ID, but I don't doubt your suggestion.
Une belle pris et merci pour le partage.
Bonne soirée,
Amitiés,
Ivan

Super macro photo!

Hi Anne.
Very interesting picture, really. Thus a large number of nymphs at the same time I ever seen. Captured very well and with sensitivity to detail and nice natural colors.
Thank you for sharing.
Kind regards

Salut Anne!
Super interessante photo et aussi très rare sur le site ( première fois?).Le commentaire de Ivan est bien pertinent et m´a fait aussi pensé sur cette surprennante quantité d´individus, peut-être necessaire pour la survie de cette espèce. Merci pour partager !
Amitié,
aNa

Bonjour Anne.
Une belle collection de insectes.

Ciao Anne,
interessante questa documentazione, pur essendo frequente l'osservazione di questi raggruppamenti di ninfe, è raro osseervarle in così grande numero, ottima nitidezza e bellissimi colori
Grazie e complimenti
Con amicizia
Maurizio

Hi Anna,
This is a bit of an scary photo, especially when taken for this close. It is interesting to see them all togehter. I am wondering if this was a day of hatching or if they came together to reproduce.
You captured them perfectly with great sharpness and excellent clarity. Even if it is not a prety photo is certainly is an interesting one.
TFS,
Niek
