Fríd Scéithe na Sceiche Gile


Tá cruth ar an gcréatúr seo cosúil le sciath Rómhánach. Soláthraíonn an dathú agus comharthaí atá acu an bréagriocht foirfe i gcoinne choirte agus dhuilleoga na sceiche gile. Beathaíonn na nimfeacha óga ar dhuilleoga na sceiche gile, cé go n-itheann na haosaigh duilleoga agus na sceachóirí dearga nó caora chomh maith.

 

Hawthorn Shield Bug

This little creature is shaped like a Roman shield. Its colouring and markings provide the perfect disguise against the bark and leaves of the hawthorn. The young nymphs feed on hawthorn leaves, while the adults eat both the leaves and the red ‘haws’ or berries.
