What it does
As a member of the Hemiptera order, or true bugs, Rhynocoris punctiventris has beak-like mouthparts to suck liquid from plants or other insects. Though little is known about the species' diet, based on other Rhynocoris species it can be inferred that R. punctiventris are generalist predators, feeding on plants and various insects.
