Even if it's a pest, he's still my friend, we both consume a lot of tea leaves anyway.Williamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03673406036042817965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194001039657269182.post-58305437089688618462012-05-14T11:45:09.496+08:002012-05-14T11:45:09.496+08:00William, do you mean a sample of the bug?

I did not want to spoil the "pest or predator game" - I have to admit that I put "tea bug" into Google images and looked it up and read it is a pest. Still, a good fun and beautiful bug - thanks!<br />JakubJakub Tomekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12641381393855983478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6194001039657269182.post-62575926264552372642012-05-13T05:51:00.754+08:002012-05-13T05:51:00.754+08:00Ah!!

I would also tend to think this insect is a predator considering its size, but on the last picture, you can see that the leaf on the bottom right and bottom left have been attacked.
