This insect is a close friend of cotton farmers in my area, I don't know what the shape of the house of this insect and how they live, but what is certain is that I very often find this insect on cotton trees, this insect is also often found in groups or groups so it can be concluded that this insect lives in colonies. This insect has a size that is not too big and also not too small, the color is very beautiful, namely red, white and black. Please note that this is a flying insect but they often spend their time on plants or trees,when feeling threatened, these insects prefer to run rather than fly unless they have no other choice.

At that time I managed to find this insect on a wild plant in my garden, this insect did not fly when I approached it but it kept moving as if it would not let me take a picture of it, I managed to take a picture of this insect in a very large number of pictures but only 4 pictures looked beautiful and detailed.
