The forest bug (Pentatoma rufipes) is a species of shield bug in the family Pentatomidae. It is a common and widespread species found in forests and woodlands worldwide. It is shiny dark brown with red-orange markings on its body and bright orange legs. It is shaped like an escutcheon-type shield, flat, and about 14 mm in length. Its distinguishing characteristic is a pair of plates extending forward from the shoulders at the front of its dorsal thorax.

The forest bug's main food source is any of several species of oak. It is a sap-feeder and uses piercing mouthparts to withdraw the liquid. It can also be found on other species of deciduous trees. The forest bug is also an agricultural and garden pest, as it will not hesitate to feed on fruit and nut trees. Occasionally it will consume other insects.

Adults lay eggs during the summer in the cracks of tree bark, and the larvae hatch the following spring.

I shot this at Omkar hills, Bangalore.
Handheld shot..

The most amazing thing in this bug which also impressed me a lot is " A face like sturcture at the bottom which has a long beard"..
It looks like a man with a beard. This thing impressed me a lot about this bug. Hope you all liked it.

Hi Arjun,
Great clear image of this bug.
Not a very colorful one, but one with lovely patterns and details.
Composition, exposure and sharpness are superb.
Wonderful light and the way the bug does stand out against the saturated green of the leaf is great.
Excellent work. My compliments.
Thanks for sharing and the very good note.
Best wishes,
Harry
