Chrysocoris Purpureus - Jewel Bug - Animal India, Tehatta - 03 Apr 2024

Chrysocoris purpureus is a species of brightly colored jewel bug with shield-shaped backs found in Asia. This bug exhibits a metallic green color, featuring five black spots on its pronotum and seven spots on its scutellum. It is a member of the Scutelleridae family, established by Carl Wilhelm Hahn in 1834, with species distributed across South and Southeast Asia. Chrysocoris purpureus has been observed causing significant damage by sucking the sap from the tender shoots and leaves of Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo) in Jharkhand. A specimen of Chrysocoris purpureus was noted perched on green leaves in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on April 3, 2024.
