[2][3] The basic color is green, with eleven ring-shaped spots on the scutellum.

The colors and the design of these bugs represent a warning to predators.

Main host plants are Gossypium species (Malvaceae), Coffea arabica (Rubiaceae), Citrus species (Rutaceae) and Vernonia amygdalina (Asteraceae).

Eggs are laid on the underside of leaves, and nymphs will spend a majority of their time in flowers feeding.

[2] This species is present in tropical and subtropical Africa (Benin, Cameroon, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Sierra Zambia[3] and Zimbabwe).
