Peanut-Head Bug

Snack Time !

 

   This bogus Peanut- Head Bug has a way to scare off its enemies. It has a set of extra- large eyespots located on its hind wings to scare them off. It opens its wings and flashes its "giant eyes". The Peanut-Head Bug is a member of the fulgorid group, or the "lantern flies." Fulgor is Latin for " flash of lightning". They live in Mexico and feed on plant juices. Its head may look like a peanut, but I wouldn't want it for a snack !
