Parent bug (Elasmostethus atricornis)

A cluster of these yellowish bugs on a rain-soaked leaf a few months ago. There were about 20 on the shrub altogether.

Odd looking little bugs. I can't help but wonder how they got their name. V.

a pretty lot they are too...looks like a party going on, or perhaps they are practicing the social skills a parent needs...
