At first I thought this was a stink bug, but after I searched for information about this insect on Google, it turned out that this was a brown ladybug. I don't really understand the type of this insect, but I know it very well because this insect is a serious pest for farmers, this insect can carry various diseases in plants and can also eat various leaves and young plant fruits such as chilies and tomatoes. The presence of this insect can make farmers afraid and worried. And what makes me really hate this insect is that it can release a liquid that has a very strong smell from its body, and the liquid can function as a tool to avoid predators, with this smell it allows it not to be attractive to predators who want to prey on it. I managed to find this insect in my chocolate plantation and this is a big concern for me because I am cultivating chili and tomato plants.
Okay friends, now I will share some pictures of this insect here.
