Özet

Fast flight and emission of pungent and foul scent fluid by meta thoracic scent gland, and secretion of excretory fluid are the dominant self-defensive means in species of Heteroptera. In addition, camouflage is also seen as a protective defense in some heteroptera     species such as Mustha spinosula (Lefebvre, 1831).

In this study, on the camouflage behavior and protective coloration (Camouflage) of Mustha spinosula (Lefebvre, 1831) is focused.
