Harlequin Bug (Dindymus versicolor)

These little dudes, feed on a variety of vegetation including native and exotic garden varieties. Pairs are often encountered where they are joined at the tail, the female dictating the direction that they walk.

Wonderful colours in the snap. Like the red contrasting against the diffused green background. Very interesting factoid as well :)
