The other day I was at my sister's place where I came across this unique bug on the long bean climber. I have never seen anything like this before. I took quite a few shots but it made no attempt to fly away. Checking online later, I think it comes closest to the description of the squash bug. A pest in the garden! These bugs suck sap pumpkins, melons and other cucurbits. The long bean climber had cucumber plants as its immediate neighbours. No wonder!

It is camouflaged to look like a dead leaf!
It has an unusual shape. I haven't seen this bug before.
This is one strange looking bug Kanak. It can hide well among dried or brown leaves.
What a beautiful pest!
I haven't seen this one though I'm quite sure there are squash bugs out there. It is beautiful. It looks squashed! :)
