Red shouldered bugs with camphor berries - Jadera haematoloma

Red shouldered bugs with camphor berries - Jadera haematoloma
Longwood (Orlando area), Seminole County, Florida, USA
May 3, 2009
The photograph is of a red shouldered bug on my pool screen. The pool is next to a camphor tree, and the bugs have carried camphor berries up the screen as far as 2'. One shown, but there are dozens; each with camphor berries. Evidently, they prefer to dine higher than on the ground. Here's a photograph of several of them dining on one berry: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f244/cooper213/478.jpg
