Hallo all

sending a photograph clicked on 30/03/2011 from Chandigarh. the insect is laying the eggs on the fresh inflorescence of Schleichera oleosa (the Kusum tree). it was in the afternoon around 3:30 pm and the temperature was 15 degree celcius minimum.

got interested in this picture coz it may be that the larvae which will emerge out would feed on the mature flowers or may be fruits of the tree. so in a way this tree with not so much of thick canopy even in its full foliage season is source of shelter or food for some other creatures....

It looks like Tessaratoma javanica Thunberg.
