Caenocoris nerii

Rothschild, M., Von Euw, J. and Reichstein, T. (1971) Heart poisons (cardiac glycosides) in the lygaeid bugs, Caenocoris nerii and Spilostethus pandorus. Insect Biochem., 1, 373-84. 

The larvae of the bug, Caenocoris nerii, feed on ripening seed pods of Nerium oleander plants and also accumulate cardenolides such as oleandrin (28). At night, when aposematic colors are less useful, these insects abandon the conspicuous pods and shelter in twos or threes on the underside of leaves of the plant (Rothschild, 1973).
