Horned Shield Bug (Acanthosomatidae) aka The Parent Bug
Unlike the more common Pentatomoidean practice of ‘lay them and leave them’, the members of this family of true bugs are commonly referred to as Parent Bugs because of the care they take with raising their young. The female will stand defiantly over her eggs until they hatch and beyond, keeping her brood very close at-hand.
