Pulling A Face

A Man-faced stink bug showing its face in the Gardens by the Bay. Photo credit: Jonathan Chua.

With the lens allowing me to focus as close as less than 3 feet (0.9 meters) away, this bug was eventually spooked by my close proximity and flew up to a nearby tree.

The Devilmask (Catacanthus diabolus) is a species of shield bug that uses humans as intermediate hosts for their larvae.

A devilmask will latch on to its target’s face, injecting them with a psychoactive compound. This makes the host blissfully unaware of the insect as they swallow its eggs. The egg-laying process is short, only taking a few minutes before the devilmask flies off, leaving the host with no recollection of the event.

Eggs have an acid-resistant coat to survive the stomach. They then hatch in the intestine, travelling down as they feed and grow.

CONTENDER 1: MAN-FACED STINKBUG!

The man-faced stinkbug (Catacanthus incarnatus) is a member of the family Pentatomidae, also known as the stink bugs or shield bugs. When disturbed, bugs in this family can release a foul odor to deter predators, often containing alkane or aldehyde compounds. The brightly-colored red or yellow markings on the man-faced stinkbug, in addition to looking something like a human face, are an example of aposematic coloration, warning of their noxious emissions.

CONTENDER 2: BOMBARDIER BEETLE!

Bombardier beetles (family Carabidae) are named after their primary defense tactic. The abdomens of bombardier beetles feature a glandular sac at the tip, which secretes hydroquinone. When the beetle is disturbed, it releases both the hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide into a thick-walled chamber called a vestibule, where a chemical reaction produces intense heat and free oxygen, resulting in a minor explosion that sprays the boiling liquid at the attacker.

The man-faced stink bug(Catacanthus), found in parts of the Eastern Hemisphere is best known for its human-like abdomen showing two eyes, a nose and a mouth. Although it’s unknown if the design of the beetle is intentional to ward of predators, or if it’s simply a coincidence, these rare beetles often repel dangers with the use of a foul odour. When ignored, these bugs then deliver an absolutely nasty taste, forcing the consumer to expel the creature immediately.

La punaise indienne "Hitler" attire l'attention internationale

Un insecte originaire d’Inde a récemment attiré l’attention des médias nationaux pour son surnom, “Hitler”, et sa ressemblance avec le visage caricaturé de l’infâme Adolf Hitler. La créature, dont le nom latin approprié est Catacanthus Incarnatus , a lancé une tendance à nommer les bogues après des personnes célèbres, selon un récent rapport de The New Indian Express. La publication a d’abord…
