| Jewel Bugs Scutelleridae carry or lay their eggs on the stems of plants. These insects are commonly known as gem insects or metal armor insects because of their often brilliant colors. They are also known as shield-supported insects due to the enlargement of the thoracic cranium to provide continuous protection over the abdomen and wings. |
