Bugs from vegetables, India

November 2017. From India, bugs from unknown hosts.

Adult and nymphs of the green vegetable bug, Nizara, and Chafer beetles, Oxycetonia versicolor. Another suggestion was that the beetle is Gametis versicolour (Cetoniidae). A further suggestion for the pentatomid on a soybean pod was the legume stink bug, Piezodorus viridula. The adult has different colours on the top of the scutellum rather than the typical three white spots characteristic of Nizara viridula. The species was corrected to Piezodorus hybneri (Gmelin).
